NEMA17 DSLR Slider

UPDATE 3: Don't forget to use three or more perimeters when printing, we don't want the parts to tear apart next to our favorite camera. UPDATE: Oops! I forgot to add some files earlier today, but now they're ready - the bearing covers to attach to the carriage, the printed linear bearing itself, and the idler for the belt idler part are all included. This nearly 100% 3D printed dolly slider is designed to be built using salvaged 16mm diameter rods from an old roller switch case. The model performs very well when dragging about 3 kg of weight around. This structure serves as the hardware component for a comprehensive Arduino-based controller featuring multiple options, including speed selection, duration, endstops, and more. The ends feature a large tripod-sized hole each, along with several M2 holes ready to attach endstops if desired or necessary. To complete this project, you will need a NEMA17 motor, one M8-50 screw, four M5-10 screws, and a few M3-10 or M3-12 screws. For the pulley system, I printed the idler and used it to sleeve a 608zz bearing, then purchased the GT2 pulley and the belt.
