1.5" 8020 camera mount clip

This video demonstrates attaching a camera using a 1/4" bolt or affordable ball-head (similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Mini-Ball-Camera-Mount/dp/B000L47AHG/ref=pd_sim_p_2) to an 8020 rail. The clip is robust enough that it can securely hold a Canon SX10IS in both vertical and horizontal orientations. It snaps on securely. I will utilize this mount for my camera while running CHDK to capture time-lapse footage of 3D prints. For the printing process, Octave Fluorescent Red ABS was used at 235°C with a 3mm brim (one end still slightly lifted), 0.25mm initial layer, and 0.2mm for subsequent layers. Retraction was disabled, and overlapping perimeters were avoided. However, slight splitting occurred without affecting functionality; printing with complete fill may prevent this issue.
