Any Idea why extruded movement is rough?
That's all cool and nice. But even an 8 bit board can do linear movements. Add some linear advance calculations and it still works fine. Do it over USB and it still works fine. I should know, I've been doing it for years. In fact, I even wrote a streaming tool for it after Prusa removed that function from their slicer.

Any ideas on how I can improve my 3D printing Timelapse? More info in comments…
Have you gone through the Octolapse guide? https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/octolapse/. There’s a lot of info in there with suggestions. It mentions the wiki. That’s a great resource too: https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki

I would like to use the Custom Image Preferences option from OctoLapse but the only instructions to enable them involve editing "octopi.txt". I installed Octoprint manually on Raspberry Pi OS. Is there any way to do this or is it only available when using the OctoPi image?
This is the link to the instructions for enabling Custom Image Preferences.

How to fix stringing on octolapse?
Some stringing is unavoidable (especially for bowden setups), but excessive stringing is usually settings related. If you have not done so, go through this guide and make sure 'automatic slicer settings' are used and correctly configured. If you are using Prusa Slicer, make sure you enable 'verbose gcode'. The smart layer trigger is usually your best bet, or 'snap to print' if you are more interested in quality vs a perfect timelapse. Lastly, check out this official guide on print quality. Good luck!
What are some alternatives?
