I 3D Printed a $10,000 Camera Robot..

Показать описание

I build this 7x3 meter DIY 3D printed Camera Robot Gantry to make filming in my workshop easier for myself and to be able to create more dynamic footage! And by applying out of the box solutions I managed to keep the costs of this project very low!

Since this is my first video on this new channel, I would love to get your feedback on this video! Because I want to create content that you can enjoy and that is also useful, so your feedback is very welcome!

For everyone who wants to tinker with the design or the code, the 3D files (.STEP and .F3D) and Arduino code for the Gantry and the Remote are available for free here:

Don’t forget to like the video and subscribe if you’ve enjoyed the video because i have many great projects planned!

the music in this video sounds like it was made with those bigger pvc pipes and i'm all for it

I'm not sure if someone else recommended, but for you to get read of the battery, I would recommend to use the H configuration, as an Voron printer. Like that the motors are fixed at your ceiling. Like that you would use more cable, but allow to use an fixed powersource and controll unit.

Great project and video! I would also cast a vote into the "please speak in the next video" box!

Pretty cool project! 👏
An idea, to avoid splitting the rope at the Pulley, I recommend to used instead a set o multiple 3D Printed Smooth Pulleys (not with teeth), geared interconnected (so all are Driving Pulleys), and positioned into a Zig-Zag pattern. You probably need 4-6 Pulleys. This way you'll have way more surface friction to drive the rope (even without the teeth to damage the rope).
This method is commonly used in engineering and you also don't need contra-pulleys which are pushing on the rope.
Hope you understand how I described it :)

And good luck on the next projects!

You will be proud of this project for the rest of your life! Amazing what we can diy these days

Cool idea and execution. Since the filament drive is wearing the string perhaps consider a mechanism similar to the capstan on a ship if you decide to upgrade.
You wrap the string around a pully several times, and as long as there is some tension on both sides friction keeps the string from slipping. In a ship the weight of the anchor provides the tension, but you could use guide pullies on a spring to tension your whole system

Well done! Thank you so much! I have had a rig like this on my to do list for a long time and now I don't have to start from scratch. You ROCK! Greatly appreciated!

For the drive mechanism, I can't help but think back to the old rope/string driven 3D printers. They used dyneema cord wrapped a few times around pulleys that often had spiral grooves to keep the wraps evenly spaced. I'm thinking you'd be very pleased if you switched to dyneema cord, zing-it would be a great one as it has a special coating so it can hold knots that would make it ideal on pulleys. I used to make my own backpacking hammocks and using dyneema for the suspension, and cutting the cord to make splices would wear out a blade in no time. That's the other huge benefit, dyneema cordage is sliceable, so you can splice it into a continuous loop with little to no bump at the joint. It also has near zero stretch. The durability, spliceability and low stretch make zing-it a perfect choice for this imo.

I normally click off when I hear AI voice, but this is a genuinely impresive piece of kit that you developed. Very well explained too, your script was great.

Slap on an extruder, heat block and nozzle, now you've turned the office into a 3d printer lol

really cool idea. When we build a gantry crane we have the supports near the center and then the wheels ride on top of the rails so you don't have to worry about sideways pressure holding it on. Also the more wheels you have the smoother the move over the joints in the track.

Wow. Just wow. I just got into 3d printing and my brain is exploding with ideas. You are an inspiration 🎉 I need to make something that will act as a gantry sprayer booth. This would be a great starting point thank you

ScaryLasers

I'd say ... well done, and thanks for sharing this project with the community... great content, and I would definitely build it . Thanks a million for the inspiration 👌👌👌

Add a spring tension mechanism to the rope to maintain tension, which can compensate for some wear or relaxation.

May I suggest a forgotten 3d printing element for your motion system? Fishing line instead of string. Its far cheaper than using belts and will hold up much better than string.😉
