Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Hi,
So I've bought the timelapse kit from bambu and was trying to make it work on OrcaSlicer for the better half of a day until i figured out that the GCode that is used in BambuStudio for the timelapse part is slightly different from the one that is currently found in Orca.

I've been trying to make it work but unfortunately I've not been lucky, but seems like the command that BambuStudio is calling to call the shutter is M1004 .

Here's a snippet of what's under "Timelapse G-Code" in bambustudio:

;========Date 20250206========
; SKIPPABLE_START
; SKIPTYPE: timelapse
M622.1 S1 ; for prev firmware, default turned on
M1002 judge_flag timelapse_record_flag
M622 J1
{if timelapse_type == 0} ; timelapse without wipe tower
M971 S11 C10 O0
M1004 S5 P1  ; external shutter
{elsif timelapse_type == 1} ; timelapse with wipe tower
G92 E0
G1 X65 Y245 F20000 ; move to safe pos
G17
G2 Z{layer_z} I0.86 J0.86 P1 F20000
G1 Y265 F3000
M400
M1004 S5 P1  ; external shutter
M400 P300
M971 S11 C11 O0
G92 E0
G1 X100 F5000
G1 Y255 F20000
{endif}
M623
; SKIPPABLE_END

So, i do think that M1004 is the secret sauce here, but i'm unsure of what the rest does, and frankly i'm afraif of messing something up :)

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

Others

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, when the timelapse is enabled in bambu's printers, the shutter should also be called, in order for us to use the cyberbrick timelapse kit to have smooth timelapses.

Describe alternatives you've considered
