If anyone does not have a Canon that can run magic lantern, but still wants to do similar, I have used an arduino and an IR LED to trigger the shutter at regular intervals on my Nikon. 

I can probably dig out the simple sketch if anyone is interested.

Here's some more info about this free workshop:

We will be doing a video, time-lapse of a 3D print from two angles. This will involve 2 cameras, using magic latern on at least one camera. In the class we will learn how to:

  • Set up lighting for optimal video
  • Set up multiple Cameras to shoot 3D prints
  • Use magic lantern for a Canon 550d, 5d Mark ii, or similar camera to do a time-lapse of the process
  • Record a post and pre-print video about the project


his workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.
