You can also find his YouTube tutorial at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2320443, which will help you upgrade your design with electric control. Thanks guys, your work is amazing! I'll keep improving the slider. For hardware upgrades, first insert two bearings into the pulley wheels (printed) and assemble them to the other side of the slider. Next, stick the Belt_connector to the bottom of the platform (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2312487), which you can also see in my pics. Then, assemble the stepper motor into the Stepper_Motor_Mount (printed) along with the 20-tooth pulley gear. Finally, connect all the GT2 timing belt and test it with Arduino. Don't forget to stick a micro switch to one side of the rod mount so that the platform can be reached. By the way, my new Twitter account is https://twitter.com/Swanglei_DF
