Editing

To edit Octolapse settings, sign into Octoprint and click on the settings (wrench/spanner) icon at the top of the page. Click on 'Octolapse Plugin' under 'Plugins' on the left-hand side. You should now see the Octolapse setup screen. You can disable or enable Octolapse by checking 'Enable Octolapse'. You can also restore all of the default settings here by clicking the 'restore all default settings'.

With the exception of the Main tab, Octolapse's settings are contained within profiles. You can add/edit/delete/copy profiles on the Octolapse tabs. You can set the current profile by clicking the star icon. The current profile will be in bold with a star icon in front of it. You can also quickly change the current profiles within the main Octolapse tab.

Octolapse comes with several useful presets that should accommodate typical use.

Important Notes: Most settings changes will only affect the next print. Active prints are only affected by the logging settings inside the debug profile and by the 'Apply Settings' button in the Camera Profile Add/Edit screen. All other changes will take place during your next print, though while we're still in Alpha mode I don't suggest you do any massive settings changes during a print!

Restoring Default Settings

  1. If you are not using using access control you can skip this step. Sign in to Octoprint with an Admin account and click on the settings (wrench) icon at the top of the page.
  2. Click on 'Octolapse Plugin' under 'Plugins' on the left-hand side. You should now see the Octolapse settings screen.
  3. Click on 'Restore All Default Settings' and click 'OK' to confirm. You will see a notification when the defaults have been restored.

It's good practice to restart OctoPrint after you restore the default settings. I am working to verify that Octolapse will function properly without a restart, and will remove this step once that is done.

Export your settings

  1. If you are not using using access control you can skip this step. Sign in to Octoprint with an Admin account and click on the settings (wrench) icon at the top of the page.
  2. Click on 'Octolapse Plugin' under 'Plugins' on the left-hand side. You should now see the Octolapse settings screen.
  3. Click on 'Download Settings' and your file download should start.
  4. If you have entered any passwords into your Octolapse Camera Profile (if your camera requires authentication) please delete your passwords from your settings.json file if you plan on posting it anywhere.
