Moonraker Timelapse

Moonraker timelapse is installed but not enabled by default. To enable it there are a few steps, you need to add the following include to printer.cfg:

[include timelapse.cfg]

And uncomment the [include timelapse.conf] in moonraker.conf, you will need to restart moonraker and klipper after this, you can do that via the fluidd or mainsail services section.

If you see these messages:

 15:14:24  // Unknown command:"_SET_TIMELAPSE_SETUP"
15:14:24  // Unknown command:"HYPERLAPSE"
It means you have not as yet properly restarted moonraker and/or klipper. If in doubt just power cycle your machine.

Custom Parking Position

You might run into issues with the default back_right parking position. A user has reported that the toolhead collides with the rear motor, a remedy for this is to modify the [timelapse] section in timelapse.conf to enable custom parking and set the X and Y coordinates to match what is in the start_end.cfg for variable_custom_park_x and variable_custom_park_y.

Change the parkpos: back_right to be parkpos: custom, so the timelapse.conf changes might look like:

parkpos: custom
park_custom_pos_x: 296
park_custom_pos_y: 296

Timelapse Camera config

Info

Because the single webcam is controlled via moonraker with the webcam.conf file, the Timelapse camera dropdown menu won't let you choose a camera, this is expected.
