Pantographic Camera Slider

thingiverse

This is a custom-designed nonlinear camera slider created with Open-SCAD, based on the concept of a pantograph arm that restricts movement in two axes to achieve smooth motion. The camera follows a fluid path, providing unparalleled flexibility.

Print Settings: Printer: Any Printer with a 200mmx200mm build platform Rafts: No rafts needed Supports: Yes, use supports to ensure a successful print Resolution: A minimum of 0.3mm is recommended Infill: Use infill settings between 20% and 40% as needed Notes: This print requires minimal cleanup, but it's essential to use supports during the printing process. To assemble the bearings, you'll need a vice and a cleanup tool (link: http://amzn.to/2n84hkV) to slightly taper the opening for press fitting. When printing the tripod base, pause the print around layer 49 (using 0.3mm as the layer height) to insert two 1/4-20 turn nuts – one for the tripod and one for the arm.
