Take Layer timelapse picture on a constant Y position

In order to have a consistent position for the head during the timelapse, the photo should be taken when the extruder is in a predictable position

This is a nice idea. One caveat is that it would be nice if it took the picture as the head reached the closest point to a set x/y location. I'm running a delta printer w/ my camera on the side so the closest position to my camera is on a -x, +y coordinate.

Another option would be to have the slicer set an ooze tower and a pre-defined location (under or away from the camera) and execute a move to the tower at the end of each layer & take the pic then.
