Project:

Timelapse rig for Prusa MK3 3d Printer


The idea:

A small box with some electronics that is connected with the EINSY RAMBO board of the printer and a remote shutter cable coming from the camera.


Why?:

To make timelapses with a DSLR camera for fun.


Purpose:

see why? Also for showing off and


First steps:

So I found the idea on a prusa blogpost and wanted to create something like that, they only had an example for a lumix camera wich was of no use because I have a canon 1200D.

In the same blog there is a link to a site that shows the pinouts for different remote shutter cables with that I can go futher with the project

Blogpost: https://blog.prusaprinters.org/how-to-create-beautiful-3d-print-timelapse-videos/ Camera pinouts: http://www.doc-diy.net/photo/remote_pinout/


Getting the parts:

well already got all the parts I need at Nurdspace except for the optocoupler I ordered the 4N25 from https://sinuss.nl/componenten/opto-elektronica--displays/optocouplers/transistor-output/1225849-4n25shortoptocoupler-transistor-optoshiba

then I got some help from Danieltoo who learned me how to read schematics and some other stuff.


Preparing

I made a quick build with some protoboard and the parts.

Back:

Going from dafuq to overdrive:

after seeing the protoboard I said to myself you can do better, design a pcb even if you havent done it before.

So said so done I made the pcb in about a hour and a half because I was not familiar with the program Fritzing or even making pcb´s at all. first i made the schematics after making them i neatly put all the parts just right on the pcb

After making the pcb´s in Fritzing I ordered 10 of the pcb´s at https://jlcpcb.com/ in black for about 5 euro total inc shipping because of first time customer no shipping costs.
