PLEASE READ ELSE YOUR PRINTER WILL EXPLODE! :)
Hi guys,
I was inspired by the latest timelapse videos where you can see the printed object evenly growing from nothing while the printhead is fixed on the side of the printer.
Normally this is done by using a script in Octoprint but I don't want to use that with this expensive Ultimaker 3.
So I decided to find a way to do such cool timelapse videos my own way.

- The Principle:
The key to get this awesome effect of an evenly growing object without flying printhead is to use a remote shutter to trigger a picture of each layer and stitch them together to get a video.
The printhead has to physically trigger the remote shutter after every printed layer.
You just have to mount the remote to the frame of your printer.
Then you have to mount a rubber stick to the printhead which is pressing the button of the remote and triggers the picture.
The problem is to get the printhead to move
