Lulzbot Mini Camera Mount (Y-mounted) for time lapse video

UPDATE 3/20/18: AdrianS2 mentioned that the Mini's corner may have changed shape sometime after I designed this part. Remix: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2811860 This is a camera mount I built for my Lulzbot Mini to use with the time lapse feature in OctoPrint. It slides right onto the corner of the Y axis build plate. The three grooves are for where the screws extend through the aluminum plate under the leveling disc and corner damper. They assist in keeping the mount oriented and secured to the bed. I recommend using a little electrical tape placed right on top of the 3 protruding screws on the aluminum plate. This helps dampen any rapid movements and keeps those vibrations from slightly shifting the camera over longer prints. The camera connector can be altered to fit your own camera design, that's up to you. The screw is for adjusting the height of the camera view for larger prints. Another option would be to use a fisheye camera lens. After testing, I decided to make the mount longer to place the camera farther away. In doing so, it became too tall for the Mini to print, so I chopped off a little at the top. It would be kind of silly to make a camera mount for the Lulzbot Mini which it is unable to print, now wouldn't it? NO SUPPORTS!
