Feature Detection for Cura

Normal Print Speed

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Normal Print Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can reduce print quality since the normal print speed can be used for many different features.

Retract

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Retract Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can reduce print quality since snapshots might trigger on retraction.

Prime

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Prime Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can reduce print quality since snapshots might trigger on deretraction.

Infill

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Infill Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can increase print quality greatly since infill is not visible and is therefore very suitable for capturing a snapshot. It is VERY important that this feature is printed at a unique speed, and that no other slicer speed matches this setting. This feature is enabled by default within the 'High Quality' profiles.

Outer Wall

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Outer Wall Speed' within the printer profile. Disabling this feature can increase print quality greatly by preventing artifacts on outer walls. It is VERY important that this feature is printed at a unique speed, and that no other slicer speed matches this setting.

Inner Wall

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Inner Wall Speed' within the printer profile. In general it is safe to enable this feature for high print quality as long as the perimeter speed is unique. This feature is enabled by default within the 'High Quality' profiles.

Top/Bottom

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Top/Bottom Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can have a slight negative effect on top and bottom surfaces, but can allow Octolapse to take snapshots on some layers that might otherwise be missed. This feature is enabled by default within the 'High Quality' profiles.

Travel

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Travel Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can reduce print quality since snapshots might trigger on lift and move to/from exterior perimeters.

Initial Layer

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Initial Layer Speed' within the printer profile. If this feature is not enabled Octolapse may not capture any snapshots on the first layer(s).

Initial Layer Travel

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Initial Layer Travel Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can reduce print quality since snapshots might trigger on lift and move to/from exterior perimeters.

Skirt/Brim

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Skirt/Brim Speed' within the printer profile. In general it is safe to enable this feature for high print quality as long as the speed setting is unique. This feature is enabled by default within the 'High Quality' profiles.

Z Travel

When enabled Octolapse will allow snapshots while printer speed matches the 'Z Travel Speed' within the printer profile. Enabling this feature can reduce print quality since snapshots might trigger on lift and move to/from exterior perimeters.
