Turn your iPhone into an automatic timelapse camera for your 3D printer. No Bluetooth button, no Raspberry Pi, no OctoPrint and no slicer setup. 3D PrintCam watches the spot where your print head parks. Each time the head arrives and comes to rest, it takes a photo. Because every frame is shot with the head in the same place, your print appears to grow out of the bed in one smooth, clean motion. HOW IT WORKS 1. Mount your phone facing the printer. 2. Draw a box over the place where the print head parks after each layer. 3. Tap Start. 3D PrintCam takes a photo every time the head stops in the box. 4. Open the editor, fine-tune your timelapse and export the video to Photos. SMART CAPTURE • On-device motion detection triggers each photo for you, hands-free • Live motion meter shows exactly what the camera sees • Adjustable sensitivity, wait-before-capture and cooldown to match your printer • Lock exposure and focus to stop flicker between frames • Choose the camera lens that frames your printer best • Optional shot limit, and a screen that dims while recording to save battery BUILT-IN TIMELAPSE EDITOR • Scrub through every frame and pick the ones you want • Change speed and frame rate (24, 30 or 60 FPS), or play the print in reverse • Crop for any platform: square, widescreen 16:9, vertical 9:16 or 4:3 • Zoom, pan and rotate • Filters, plus brightness, contrast and saturation • Combine sessions or import photos from your library WORKS WITH ANY FDM PRINTER If your print head parks, pauses or moves aside between layers, 3D PrintCam can capture it. Nothing to install on the printer and nothing to plug in. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Motion detection and video creation run entirely on your device. Your photos and videos stay with you. FREE TO USE Capture, edit and export timelapses for free. You can try higher-resolution export before you buy. 3D PRINTCAM PRO Upgrade to unlock HD, Full HD and 4K capture and export for full-length timelapses.
