DIY Camera Slider (Under $25)

thingiverse

This camera slider was inspired by the X axis on my first 3D printer, a Tevo Tarantula. It uses the same high-quality 2040 aluminum extrusion and precision V-Slot wheels. The slider is ideal for use with my Canon 600D camera, but its small size makes it even more suitable for lighter devices like mirrorless cameras and smartphones. The gantry plate was modified using a design available on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:95843 Printed in durable PLA at 50% infill. For those interested, I have uploaded a video tutorial on how to assemble the slider and sample footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTV9Kij4oyg&t=1s List of Hardware: -2040 V-Slot Aluminum Extrusion 520mm: 1 piece ($11) -Open Builts V-Slot Wheels: 4 Pieces ($5) -Eccentric Nuts: 2 Pieces ($2.50) -M3 Roll in T Spring Nut: 8 Pieces (50/pc $7) -1/4 Male to 3/8 Male Screw Adapter: 1 Piece ($2) (Saw off the 1/4 screw) -M3 Screw 20mm: 6 Pieces -M5 Screw 30mm: 4 Pieces -M5 Nut: 4 Pieces -Approx 150 Grams of Filament Total Cost: Approx $25 The total cost is approximate, based on what I paid with shipping.
