No G-code modification needed! A1/A1 mini time-lapse kit, momentary trigger plug-and-play, modular design, permanent trigger

Overview

        This component is designed for Bambu Lab A1 and A1 mini series 3D printers, aiming to provide a high-quality, highly flexible external time-lapse photography solution. It physically simulates a remote control's momentary button press, without requiring any firmware or G-code modifications, to trigger the shutter function of most mobile phones or cameras

Core Design Features & Key Advantages

• True Momentary Trigger: Unlike common long-press activated solutions, this component uses a precise lever mechanism to convert the print head's linear motion into a brief momentary press. This perfectly simulates a 'click' operation, offering excellent compatibility, without relying on the device's 'long press shutter' function, and fundamentally avoids trigger failures caused by improper G-code instruction settings
• Zero G-code Modification: Your printing process requires no changes. This component uses a mechanical momentary trigger structure, requiring no modifications to any print profile or G-code parameters. Once printing starts, it automatically triggers shooting, making it easy for beginners to get started. A purely peripheral solution, it is completely non-intrusive to the printing process
• Modular Design:
  • Trigger End Actuator: Permanently installed on the X-axis end cap. It uses a lever design to ensure smooth and reliable action
  • Remote Control Holder: Offers various adapter modules. You can custom-select and print based on the size of your Bluetooth remote control. A holder for a standard 3.5x5cm mobile phone Bluetooth remote control is provided by default
  • One Trigger, Multiple Adapters: One installed trigger actuator can quickly switch between different remote control holders, enabling switching between different devices (mobile phones, camera remote controls) in seconds
• Non-Intrusive: Install the remote control holder module only when time-lapse photography is needed, and it does not affect machine operation or maintenance during regular printing

Compatibility Specifications

• Ready-to-Use: Includes a standard mounting module for a 3.5x5x1cm common mobile phone Bluetooth selfie remote control, ready for installation upon receipt
• Highly Customizable: If you need to adapt to other remote control sizes, you can easily design your own holder module. [Customization method: Create corresponding negative parts on your custom model according to the remote control's dimensions to complete the adaptation] Unleash your creativity and custom-fit a dedicated holder for any device
• Holder Adapter Dimensions Provided: At the end of the installation guide ↓↓↓↓, the dimensions for holder adaptation are provided for interested users to create secondary designs

Printing Recommendations

• Material: Recommended to print with PLA or PETG to ensure structural toughness and durability
• Layer Height: A 0.2mm layer height is recommended to achieve optimal surface finish and structural strength
• Infill: The model has been optimized for strength, print with default settings
