Description
The CyberBrick Timelapse Kit is a specialised hardware set for makers and content creators who want to capture their 3D prints in the highest quality. Whilst conventional in-camera time-lapses often appear jerky, this kit enables perfect synchronisation between the printer hardware and an external camera (DSLR, mirrorless or smartphone). It utilises the modular intelligence of the CyberBrick system to trigger the shutter precisely when the print head is in a parked position.
Perfect synchronisation via G-code
The kit is controlled directly via your printer’s control commands. Using simple commands in the start or layer G-code, the printer signals to the CyberBrick module when a photo should be taken. The result is a completely smooth time-lapse, in which the model grows layer by layer as if by magic, without the print head moving distractingly across the image.
Modular CyberBrick architecture
Like all sets in the CyberBrick series, this kit is also based on the Multi-Function Core Board. This means that you can use the hardware not only for time-lapse photography, but also easily integrate it into other robotics or smart home projects later on. Connections are made via simple plug-in systems, so no soldering is required.
Universal camera control
The kit supports a wide range of trigger methods. Whether via a physical shutter cable (2.5 mm jack) for professional cameras or via Bluetooth signals for smartphones – the CyberBrick module acts as a universal bridge. This allows you to utilise the superior optics and manual control of your best camera equipment.
Smart status LEDs
Integrated RGB LEDs on the Core Board provide instant visual feedback on connection status and the moment the shutter is released. This allows you to see at a glance whether the system is ready or currently taking a photo, without having to constantly check your camera’s display.
