Timelapse your 3D prints. With just your phone. No plugin, no Raspberry Pi, no account.

PrintLapse recording a 3D print, shown on a phone.
  1. 01Smart tracking

    Focus on the nozzle. Computer vision locks onto the print head and holds it in frame, so the model rises cleanly instead of shaking layer to layer.

  2. 02Burst modePro

    Best shot, right on time. Several frames are taken at each layer and the sharpest one is kept. Swap in a different take whenever you disagree.

  3. 03Auto cleanup

    Edits itself. You just post. The session lands on a timeline with the blurred frames already dropped. Disable, delete or replace any of them without a desktop.

  4. 04Instant export

    Post it in one tap. It renders to MP4 on the phone and opens the share sheet. No upload, no round trip through a computer.

The PrintLapse camera view with the print head framed by the tracking box.

It shoots when the head parks. During a print something is always moving. The one moment the scene goes completely still is when the print head parks at the end of a layer — that is the shutter signal. Same principle as OctoLapse, running on your phone instead of a server.

Costs you one slicer setting, and the app walks you through it for Bambu Studio, Orca, Cura and PrusaSlicer.
