3-Axis Camera Slider (2040 V-slot extrusion) #3DThursday #3DPrinting

3 Axis Camera Slider 2040 V slot extrusion by isaac879 Thingiverse

Up your photog game with this print from isaac879 on Thingiverse:

Here is a quick overview of the components and how the project works. There is an Arduino Nano as the brain controlling everything and monitoring the inputs. The three Nima 17 stepper motors are controlled by TMC2208 stepper driver boards. When combining the stepper motor’s step angle, the microstepping mode of the driver boards and the gear ratios of the pan and tilt axis you get a precision of 0.0133° and 0.0369° respectively (Stepper motors move 1.8° per full step, microstepping divides this by 16, the pan axis has a gear ratio of 144:17 and the tilt has a ratio of 64:21). The slider carriage moves using a 36 tooth timing pulley with a 2GT timing belt on 2040 V-slot aluminium extrusion. This gives the slider has a positional precision of approximately 0.0225mm.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
