Modifying Print Routine on UMs5

[mmittlem 1]

Hello! 

 

I am working with an Ultimaker s5 for a research project. We are attempting to capture video on the front and side planes of the printer while a print is happening in order to build a model for predictive health. Mirroring a similar project on an Ender, I have designed some mounts for some webcams to be attached to the build plate during the print process. However due to the side of the cameras and the space in the printer, the mounts sit kind of far onto the build plate. I've attached a photo for reference. 

 

During the print process the printer has a variety of automatic functions. First is the active bed leveling, and then a preprogramed motion to the front of the printer before it starts extruding. I was just wondering if it is possible to modify the print routine/motion of the head so it doesn't move to specific locations on the printer, as well as turn off active bed leveling. 

 

I've been using the printer's API for communication with the printer from python for things like starting a print, changing the temperature, etc. But the documentation doesn't seem to have any instructions on modifying what the printer does once a job has started and that's what I'm trying to change. 

 

Just wondering if anyone has any advice. Thanks!

I found this github from another forum post in terms of being able to shut off active leveling. Still looking for a way to control the movement of the head during a print job.
