I always want to own a motorized slider that can travel double of its length but they are really expensive. Then I found the Open Source Project called Digital Bird Camera Slider. I still can't spend my money during the pandemic because of a tight budget. So, I design my own from scratch that is inspired from Digital Bird. I also design some PCBs. I modified the Arduino code of the 2 axis camera slider found on YouTube for better and smooth operation. I hope you'll love it.

This is demo video how to use it

Instructions

I am really sorry that I have no time to make a detailed assembly tutorial video but I'll definitely do it later. Don't worry I provided a link to all the original design files including codes and pcbs. Use PLA+ or PETG with at least 4 outer walls and 33% infill. The length of the slider is based on the length of the aluminum profile.
