Renders exact layer frames at the chosen length, encodes MP4 locally, and falls back to the browser recorder when needed.

How the timelapse is made

  • Slice your model in any slicer (Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, Cura) and export the G-code. You can also drop a sliced 3MF that contains G-code inside it.
  • The tool reads the real toolpaths, so the video shows perimeters, infill patterns like grid or gyroid, supports, and the solid top layers building up - not a fake Z-slice of a solid model.
  • The glowing top line marks the active layer, like fresh extrusion. Turn it off for a clean look, or enable the turntable for a slow rotate while it builds.
  • The preview renders your build as solid filament with matched lighting, a soft contact shadow, and a Bambu-style build plate. Join the waitlist for the upcoming image-based render mode that places prints into realistic printer scenes.
  • Everything runs in your browser and saves a deterministic MP4 locally - no upload, and the exported file is encoded for broad player and editor compatibility.
  • Need to prep a model first? Cut large prints with the STL Cutter, check printability with the STL Repair, or browse the tools hub.
