DIY Camera Slider (Under $25)

thingiverse

This camera slider was inspired by the X axis on my first 3D printer the Tevo Tarantula. It uses the same 2040 aluminum extrusion and V- Slot wheels. I use it with my Canon 600D but due to the sliders small size, it should work better with lighter devices like mirrorless cameras and smartphones. The gantry plate was modified using this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:95843 Printed in PLA at 50% infill.
