Hi everyone!
I want to share my method to create "acceptable" Timelapses.
Currently, i'm not able to create those brilliant/perfect ones that we can see all over the internet but i hope to soon find the good configuration.

With this print, you can attach a limit switch (+/- 12.8 x 6.7mm) at the beginning of the X-axis and either use Octolapse ( I tested it and it works without problems) or custom G-code after layer change.

Here is a video of my experiment:

Here is the custom G-code that I used:

ATTENTION!

Please test this before launching an entire print. This must be configurated with caution as may cause unwanted collisions!

Copy and paste on Custom g-code under Printer Settings.

;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE

G1 X10 Y180 F{travel_speed*60} ;Move away from the print before activation movement
G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish
G4 P200 ;Wait for 200ms

G1 X5 F1000 ; Activation movement
G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish
G4 P100 ;Wait for 100ms

G1 X10 Y180 F{travel_speed*60} ;Back movement
G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish
G4 P100 ;Wait for 100ms
