Wow, I learn something new each day...this is pretty cool stuff! It looks like it opens up a whole new area for beveled cuts and accuracy, etc etc. (or is this easy to do already?)
What's the max length for linear 'screw'? And what's the approximate cost of everything in the picture? You know I'm going to ask about adapting this to a camera slider
. Is the stepper motor usually have high power requirements making it unsuitable for portability?
Last Question (I swear!), it seems with your initial makerslide samples, you had 3 wheel configurations and here is 4 wheels, is this going to be standard on the plate for the makerslide? I think for a Camera slider, I along with others would probably prefer to have all 4 wheels (if the horizontal method of mounting was used) and are the wheels mounted with eccentric spacers on all sides, one side or are the holes just the right distance that adjustment is unnecessary (preferable).
I don't want to hijack this thread, so feel free to post a reply in my original thread.
