Moonraker Timelapse

Moonraker timelapse is installed but not enabled by default.

Installation steps

Follow all steps to enable moonraker timelapse!

  1. Add timelapse.cfg to printer.cfg

    Add the following include to printer.cfg:

    [include timelapse.cfg]
    
  2. Enable timelapse.conf in moonraker.conf

    Uncomment the [include timelapse.conf] in moonraker.conf

  3. Restart moonraker and klipper

    You can do that via the fluidd or mainsail services section.

Troubleshooting

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.
