Automatic MakerBot Time-Lapse Photography!

It works!

Using a Canon SD300 with CHDK, and some firmware hacks, Makerbot #131 has learned how to make time-lapse videos of all of its prints!

More details (and a how-to!) coming soon! And thanks to Thingiverse user Starno for the bottle opener model in the video.
