Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/1145

Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

Currently the finish photo is captured after the print has fully completed — which on the X1-series means after the build plate has already lowered. The resulting photo shows the print from a low angle (or partially out of frame), rather than the much more useful top-down view of the completed print on the plate.

It would be great to have an option to capture the finish photo before the plate lowers, while the print itself is done but the end-gcode/cooldown is still running.

Why this matters

The finish photo is used in notifications (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.) and in the archive view. A top-down shot of the freshly finished print on the plate is significantly more informative than a low-angle shot of the lowered plate, and it matches what most users intuitively expect when they see "print finished" arrive on their phone.

Happy to test on X1C if helpful.

Thanks for the great work on Bambuddy!

Proposed Solution

A new setting finish_photo_trigger with the following choices:

on_finish (current behaviour, default for backwards compatibility) — capture when the print is fully finished and the plate is down
on_progress_complete — capture as soon as the print reaches 100%, before the end-gcode runs and the plate lowers
both — capture two photos: one early (plate up, top-down view of the print) and one at the end (plate down, useful as a general overview / for failure analysis)

The both option would be especially valuable — the early shot is great for sharing and notifications, while the late shot stays useful for verifying the print came out cleanly.

The resulting photo shows the print from a low angle (or partially out of frame), rather than the much more useful top-down view of the completed print on the plate. It would be great to have an option to capture the finish photo *before* the plate lowers, while the print itself is done but the end-gcode/cooldown is still running. ### Why this matters The finish photo is used in notifications (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.) and in the archive view.

Ill second this. I currently handle it with the Bambu Integration in Home Assistant having it send a notification with screenshot once its at 100% and not on finish.

Unfortunately this is not possible. Some printer models doesn't accept commands before the "print end procedure" was finished. We already tried that in the past without success.
