Wow, this is a super nice 2 axis camera slider. The turn dial / push to set programming is a really nice touch. Truly inspiring. You should be very proud to be so creative.

[@cdeezphotoz]

I have had a similar design to this one in mind FOR MONTHS now. T-slot is a great and inexpensive option that also has great structural stability. I am recylcing parts from a 3d Printer and a Telescope so I can mount a 120mm refractive scope, or a caged camera/ gimbal onto it for motion lapses/ Star shots. Thanks for the video! I appreciate this insight. I have been trying to rack my brain aroung cable management. You have solved my dilema. A single t-slot down the middle of my design. (I am using 2 3/8" and 2 1/4" rods for my railing system to provide as much stability as possible. ) Using the parts I have from each gives me the stepper motor need for my Belt drive, by I plan on using the existing pan/tilt electronics and encoder motors from my telescope to provide a badass optics platform. After the initial hardware/coding works, I will be printing casing for the components to shield them from the elements.

[@shadrackthedeveloper]

Damn...never knew one video could open up my mind to so many possibilities! Very Practical.

[@dennisgaatjeniksaan2132]

i would pay for a step by step tutorial for beginners

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

One beautiful slider I would even consider buying this its so bloody good.....

[@princebanini]

this was beautifully done. Great work RZtronics

[@Jestunes]

Thanks for being more realistic with the cost of the materials used.

[@DecadesDiner]

Awesome project. Like that you started the video with slider shots.

[@GeekDetour]

VERY NICE project! Awesome video results you got - congratulations! 🎉🎊🎈🍾

[@DianneStudio]

Awesome project... I want to build this one... Thank you so much RZtronics... One suggestion to add a fan in the control box for the drivers then it will be perfect... Cheers...

[@blobbenfinns]

Software works just as it should... Going to design my own slider hardware in Fusion 360. Big thanks for the sourcecode!!!

[@DianneStudio]

The software works for me too. thanks for RZ. my only issue is the jerky and bouncy position adjustment with the rotary encoder. If you don't mind will you able to help me. I tried different delay options but still very jerky and bouncy rotary. Thank you

[@ashishdmc]

Wow! That's a great project. Thanks a lot. It very useful. cant wait to build one for myself. The code works great. I am a filmmaker and DOP and based on my experiences I have a few suggestions. 1. Could you include Acceleration control input as well. I read that the Accel Stepper library supports that. 2. An option for the third motor will be great for the Tilt function. 3. Can you have a menu with an optional function to bounce continuesly between point A and B for Interviews in a loop 4. As an upgrade it would be wonderful if you include the AS5600 Encoder module with magnet for marking positions. Manually positioning the camera is always a better option for Cinematographers. 5. Lastly can you also extend the code for a camera lens focus focus motor. Thanks again for this wonderful project.

[@attic6]

[@thamomentum]

Dude Holy shit. That was done so damn cleanly. I'm working on something like this for the Ender 3. For timelapse and it's driving me crazy

[@LambertoDeSimone]

Hello, that’s a wonderful project. Congratulations 🍾. Is it possible to have a step by step tutorial to build it ?

[@taimaishublm]

excellent, but is the choppiness due to the stepper drivers? or just stability. thanks

[@АндрейКиселев-б1ы]

И ещё идеально было бы, плавный старт и замедление в конце движения. Если это не очень сложно то сделайте это. Спасибо. And it would also be ideal to have a smooth start and slow down at the end of the movement. If it's not very difficult, then do it. Thanks.

[@charlieross-BRM]

Good choice of construction. I have a different Arduino slider kit and it isn't very sturdy plus it has some jitters so I want to rebuild it with extrusions. Capturing the main rotation bearing inside the platform with a bolt down plate is the first time I've seen how to do that. My kit is a pressure fit of the bearing to both the carriage plate and the camera base over the bearing which IMHO is nonsense. Finally, that's an interesting calibration you programmed, having separate start and end aiming points for the Y value.

[@3cm648]

Nice video ! Thanks for it ! Thumb up ! Wanna make one, do you have a full tutorial video pls. A lot of part not clear and miss out...like you use a transistor but not sure which is that . Thanks !

[@StuffIMade]

Great job! Beautiful design! On the wiring diagram, it shows a 12v and a 5v inputs, did they both come from the single battery?

[@luisfmts]

Very helpful. Thank you. Has anyone built a 3 pan modification?

[@franksemi_modular]

Look great and I wanted build one, but could you please update the aliexpress links with info on what to buy. fx. "GT2 20T Pulley" don't really give an accurate description on what to choose when going to the link gives you lots of choices like 20T W6 B6.35, 20T W6 B8, 20T W6 B4, 20T W6 B5, 20T W10 B5, 20T W10 B6.35 and 20T W10 B8. Same with most of the other tings.

[@fxsrider]

I checked on the extrusion from the link you provided. Estimated delivery was April 14. Today is February 10. Really cool project! Have you ever tried to slap the DSLR on it? I would think it's easy enough to scale up to handle the larger weight. Thanks for sharing!

[@aspmos]

Great, I have NO NEED for such a thing but still I want to build it.

[@Panals1]

Congratulations on your work. I have placed all the components on a PCB board. Everything works very well and as you predict with one exception. Rotary encoder turns upside down. Reversing the numeric values (PinCLK 3) and (PinDT 8) to (PinCLK 8) and (PinDT 3) does not work at all. Of course I also change the (attachInterrupt (digitalPinToInterrupt(3), Rotary, RISING); to attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(8), Rotary, RISING);. Also shift pinMode(PinDT, INPUT_PULLUP); one position up but the motors remain dead. As far as I know, the position of the pins on rotary encoders is not a critical issue. I can't figure out what exactly I'm missing. Can you help? Thank you very much.

[@pkasra]

Great job! Thanks for sharing. I see a lot of shake and wobble in your first previews captured by the slider and it scares me. Is it because the belt being loose? Or the wheels are not in good grip the extrusions profile?

[@MrMaxStalsky]

it's just poorly made. Too loose construction. Stepper motor speed is too high. A lot of things. But nice try.

[@IAmOrion]

Having started to look up the parts on AliExpress - It's a real shame about your unresponsiveness to people on Facebook and lack of replies to comments here :( . You seem to give just enough information to peak interest, but not enough information to actually build one. I say this because: You list ALL the parts (with very basic info) which is great.... BUT, and it's an important but, the majority have different sizes available or different widths so there's too much information missing to avoid wasting money on wrong parts. You also seem to never respond to anyone asking for the STL files for the 3D Printing parts which is also very disappointing. What you've done is great, it really is, but it's all let down by the lack of information provided. Either show off your skills and projects and give NO details on how to DIY one, OR, Give ALL of the details comprehensively. You seem to sit in the middle of this spectrum and give some information to promote giving it a go, but not enough information to actually succeed which is a real shame. So, here are some questions: 1) Where can we download the STL Files? 2) For the GT2 20T Pulley, what is the bore? and what is the width? (I'm presuming it's 5mm bore for the NEMA motor, and 6mm "standard" width - Based on belt size) 3) Same question for the GT2 40T - but again I'm assuming it's 5mm bore, 6mm width? (Based on belt size) 4) The OLED is 0.96" 128x64 I2C (In case anyone couldn't tell from the video) [this is just letting others not, not really a question] 5) What LiPO Battery did you use specifically? They're different MAh, which means they can be powered longer BUT the main reason I ask is due to the dimensions since the larger the MAh, the larger the batttery - so which one did you use? 6) Just a statement again, but you should list the 47uf Capacitors in your parts list 7) What Length 2020 rail did you order? Does it even matter? I had a very quick look at the code you provided and don't see a pre-set width so does it calibrate first? Eg, it runs until it hits an endstop and then uses the travel distance to determine it's length?? (I only skimmed over the code so I may have missed it if you have set in a width) Finally, your rztronics write up link is STILL missing the 3D STIL files as well as a parts list even though you published it over 2 months ago. I don't write all this to be discouraging, actually the opposite, this is really cool and it's great you want to show your work to others and give them some of the info to DIY - but please, give ALL of the details, INCLUDING the STL files!

[@AJRestoration]

Just reply this man, I am waiting on the same thing.

[@tonyjohnson4572]

Really, if you cannot figure out the answers to those 7 questions, you will have no clue about how to build it. I answered those in 5 minutes. Just follow the links he give and all the specs are there. Do you want him to build it for you?

[@HootBuilds]

I agree. He gave us just enough info to be inspired, but he could have provided an in depth explanation to help those of us that are still learning.

[@CadAxe3D]

I am in a process of building the slider. I can't work out the limit switch. I am stuck on homing

[@EnviousMods]

I'm a custom fabricator but nonetheless he gave us all this stuff for that specific design and leaving out STL files for reference makes it very difficult to make your own. I always give out my STL files on stuff like this and I've done it for well over a decade so I don't get what the hang up is

[@markmedia8252]

It would help if you can supply the stl files
