I will show you how to make Ender 3/Ender 3 PRO time lapse using Webcam or Phone.

Disassemble the mouse and unsolder left click button. Take wire and solder it to the button and to the left click button terminals on mouse PCB. Then assemble mouse.

Screw button to the time lapse holder and then to the 3D printer.

To run time lapse you would need to place script in the your slicing software. (I am showing it for Cura)

To place script go: Extensions/Post Processing/Modify G-Code/Add A-Script/Time Lapse

You will need one of these adapters for your phone.

Make phone stay like that.

Open camera and place mouse cursor on the button that takes pics.
