MISUMI Cascading Slide for FTC

thingiverse

A cascading linear slide prototype for use in FTC teams and hobbyists. Similar to the [Linear Bearing Slide for FTC](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4958057), however made with MISUMI slides, which are smoother and more robust. For rigging help, I made an explanation [here](https://youtu.be/Qyfs6OcRtGQ). Lift can be expanded to as many stages as desired. Each part is printed twice for a full stage. The "Full Single Stage" file combines everything needed to create a stage, so can be printed once for each stage you decide to use. For assembly instructions, follow [this Instructable](https://www.instructables.com/3D-Printable-Cascading-Linear-Slide/) I made. It's made for the Linear Bearing version of the slide, however the implementation is very similar. Between that and the CAD file, it should be easy to assemble. This slide does not include mounting options nor motor attachment - it's simply to demonstrate linear slides. A STEP file and Fusion 360 file have been included to create your own. There are two pulley options to choose from: bearing bore and screw bore. Bearing bore has a 10mm hole on each side for 10mm OD, 4mm ID bearings. This slightly improves resistance and tolerances, however can be used without. Screw bore has a 4mm bore for an M4 bolt, meaning plastic would be rubbing directly on the screw when rotating, which is find for most uses. Choose whichever you prefer
