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.

    Now, I would really love to see what a reprap extruder looks like as it is printed ;-)

    Ah, the bottle opener. I seem to remember mine taking a lot longer to make.
