You asked, and I delivered: How Geeky Faye (now Allie!) does their 3D Printing Time Lapses! In this video you'll find a full breakdown of my process, as well as what I use to accomplish it, and why I chose to do things the way I do.

Of course I did not invent this wheel, I'm simply adding to the myriad of ways available to accomplish this remarkable feat of clever technology!

❗A few additional notes of things left out of the video!❗

-- The Fujifilm X-T10, being an older camera, is obviously no longer available to purchase in most places. That said, I still definitely recommend it if you want to buy old stock or a used one. There is a newer model available now, which I've linked to in the affiliate links.

-- Even though I do not use Octolapse for my time lapse creation, I still use Octoprint for my printer management, including printing my time lapse prints! It is a great tool and I highly recommend it.

-- The little nub on the end of the Poking Stick is just a little silicone sticker foot, like you would put on the bottom of something heavy to keep it from damaging your floors. That's it!

-- You MUST use a dummy battery and DC Coupler with your camera (like the one listed in the affiliate links) when you shoot your time lapse, or else your battery will undoubtedly die part way through and interrupt your time lapse. A DC coupler lets you effectively run the camera off of mains power!

-- A decent tripod for the camera is quite important as you want your time lapse to be stable and not fall over easily! My tripod has thus far proved to be Cat Proof.
