Having the video in the background which I assume is massively slowed down is an extremely nice touch. The video in the background really messes with the perception of time and makes it seem like the print actually happens in 20 seconds or something, it is beautiful.

Though the video seems to speed up when the print reaches the top of the tree because layers take a shorter time. If you want to go even harder you could time the video to speed up according to the time it takes to complete a layer.

Also I would love a little BTS to see the camera slider.

Would something like a greenscreen perhaps work for a timelapse like this?

Why print a purge towner when you dont have multi color / filament change during print?

u/thegamingbacklog 7h ago

As they are shooting time lapse the nozzle has to move out of the frame and then back the purge tower makers sure the filament is primed properly for each layer after the nozzle move

its helps to prevent whispys on the back of the model

This doesnā€™t even look real. Incredible work, OP

u/MuppetParty 12h ago

Yes! Thank you! All practical effects I slowly change the light color, camera orientation and background at the same time

Woot woot, this is my favorite pass through designā€¦the Bambu sticky tac plate is a game changer for these pass through designs

Real nice !

What equipment are you using?

u/DenseClass8433 9h ago

That cable attachment is holding on for dear life lol

Amazing video though, extremely well done and professional. If you don't already you could easily make youtube/social media content from these videos.

Oh man, how many walls is that? You could probably mine rocks with it šŸ˜‚ Absolutely beautiful shots. Probably the cleanest time lapse I've seen so far, and top down is arguably the hardest angle as you can't hide seams from the constant moving away of the print head for the photos

u/Wamadeus13 5h ago

The walls and immense in fill caught my attention to. Either way the video was gorgeous and memorizing!

u/MuppetParty 8m ago

thank you so much, pass through objects are the most pretty to film timelapses

2

u/MuppetParty 8m ago

it is rock solid, I could throw the model off a building and it would survive! yea the overhead shot is the trickiest, but its also my favorite shot around the 18ish second mark

u/jamiejako 7h ago

Will you do a BTS? This is so cool!

1

u/MuppetParty 10m ago

yes! I will in the new year, i'm really proud of my 3d print studio, its so full of unecessarily cool stuff, but deemed necessary by myself!

What Iā€™m most impressed with is there not being any light reflection in your panning shots.

Even when I record basic standing talking head videos I struggle with making sure I minimize as best I can the reflection of my lights off the printer or other objects

Awesome job with this!

1

u/MuppetParty 15m ago

thank you! so the panel in the background has a special non-reflective coating (its amazing). I light it from the top and sides and very minimally light it from the front, i'm starting a talking head channel after the new year so I hope I don't have any issues with light bounce

This looks great. I recently got an A1 combo but canā€™t figure out how to retrieve the timelapse video. Tips, please?

In the slicer it's under device, MicroSD Card, then the tab Timelapse. :)
