Today I moved my Ender-3 into my garage. I first made a frame made out of scrap wood I found on a woodpile, Then I roughly made a frame that would enclose the ender 3 with some extra room on the top and side.
I then spray-painted the wood frame. Once it was done drying, I grabbed a random green screen sheet and wrapped all of the sides except for the front with it to block all light. Then I hooked up my raspberry pi with the camera and added a studio light to capture some nice-looking time-lapses I can post on YouTube.
Once octoprint started, I disabled the autofocus on the camera (thanks to this helpful post), then I installed the print watch plugin by “printpal.io.” So now, whenever, whether its day or night, I can check in on my print.
Here is how it looks currently through the webcam:
