## Instructions:

- Find something small that you can attach to the bed that is a different colour, I used a red label and cut a circle out of it

- Stick it to the bed

- Align the bed when you want to take the picture during the time-lapse, I used Y:235

- Launch the software and use the X and Y fields to align the circle over the dot

- Click sample colour and save the settings

- In your slicer, turn on the time-lapse mode (in Cura its under Post Procesing Plugins)

- Launch the red-dot timelapse and start the print
