Shooting videos alone can be rather difficult, with both hands busy it can occasionally become a serious problem. This machine will definitely help me out in every single video! Hopefully it will also make the videos more interesting to watch.
I used a CAD software called Fusion 360 to design my 3D parts. This includes the two main brackets that will support the 16mm PVC pipes. I also designed a pulley for the DC motor, a tripod adapter and the sliding unit.
I used my Anet A8 and printed the parts with black and orange colors. Here’s the settings:
Layer height: 0,3mm
Infill: 25%
Temp extruder: 200 degrees Celcius
Temp bed: Off
Speed: 60mm/s
Support: No
