hi there,
all of my gcode-files start with some gcode to brush the nozzle following by two calibration-lines
now OctoLapse comes a bit into trouble and seems to interprete this part as one layer or one object and gets into trouble
when I remove this gcode-lines it works fine - otherwhise it mostly tries to stabilize near the nozzle-brush
so is there any way to tell OctoLapse to ignore this part of gcode?
I like this smooth timelapses 
Heyho
Could you please post your start gcode - it might help others to find a solution for you.

as I start extruding at X410 before nozzle-brush it looks like OctoLapse tries to make all pictures around X410 but this get's never reached again
