V2 is out! I just finished assembling this project and it's amazing! **Giveaway Alert!** I'd like to send one of these off to a lucky YouTube subscriber. Comment over on YouTube, and you'll be entered into the drawing. Once we hit 50 subscribers or 50 comments, the drawing will come to an end. Don't worry about shipping within the US; it's taken care of! https://youtu.be/hRVIiyT1Eyo I set out to create a budget-friendly slider that kept electronics simple and affordable. Total parts came in around $50 plus shipping. This setup is achieving about 7 revolutions per second, but I'll get more precise measurements and video once everything is put together. Here are the key components: Motor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07558GQN8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Controller/Switch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H1W79S0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 GT2 20T Belt: $3 from China (I ordered one with pulleys but ended up modifying and printing a correct set to mate with the 4mm motor shaft.) 10mm Carbon Tube - $7 from China You can find a modified 4mm pulley I remixed and a GT2 idler pulley here, not my design. Print Details: * One of everything except for the feet * Two feet printed separately * I used 50% infill and ABS with great results so far... The bearings were printed with no infill, no top/bottom.
