great build! totally making one :)
+TheBackyardScientist Thank you! I am honoured!
@@MaxMakerChannel edu puertas Did you connect the MS1, MS2, MS3 modes to the micro-step?Thank you!
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Reece Darwin Instablaster =)
@Valentino Chandler thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Good ideas in this video. A small tip for those who are new to machining; 1:28 very dangerous to hold a piece of metal when drilling. The bit can catch and spin the piece causing a bad cut. Better to clamp it instead.
Much smoother than what i can do by hand with my slider. I hooked up a hamster wheel to mine however, he needs practice on speed.
The thing I liked about your video is that you showed the failures and also told that it took 3- to 4 times to get it right.
Most videos say projects can be done with ease. Yours was practical. Nice and liked it.
great idea and execution. enjoyed!
+This Old Tony What an honour!!! Ask Jimmy about the Ringmaster if you get the chance!
I don't see myself buying all those tools and 3d-printer to build a slider, but it was insightful and fun to watch.
Good job!
Continue like this! The beginning is difficult, but I am sure you will get thousands of suscribers soon. You are awesome!
+Rich Clominson Thank you very much! That would be great! But it is already great to have the ones I do so far.
Thanks!
Nicely made
And now.. Over 300k
I'm from the future, he has 111k now!
Nice! I like the combo switches. Great idea
Thank you! I wanted to use a potentiomer initially, but that is not precise enough to go from seconds to many hours.
@@MaxMakerChannel hi max thinking of making one of these getting all the gear together regarding the switches did you or anybody else experiment with multiturn pots i have one somewhere and going to experiment with it will update on it ok great video and easy to follow ok regards steve
@@stephenlanders Of course you can also use a Poti. Changing the code should be easy enough. It is maths after all and you can figure it out. I personally never used those pots. How would you know what setting you are on?
@@MaxMakerChannel just a matter of trial and error i suppose but will try your method first and play around with the settings
Dude you are awesome, seriously this was one of the smoothest videos of this sort that I've ever seen.
+Mert Güneş Wow. Your comment is awesome! Thank you!
now this was so amazing. I am cleaning up my garage now to make something like this. But Making the black box that everything set in..... WOW
This is awesome! I have the exact same slider and the exact problem/downside of no motor; alas, I don't have all the tools you have! But some day I 'll be able to motorize my slider! Great content!
Dear Max! Great video and a smooth way of resolving the operation of the slider by the binary switches! Amazing solution.
Thank you very much! Binary switches, I never thought about that name.
Really great video. That turned out way better than I was expecting.
+npsantini Thanks! Why did you have bad expectations though? 🤕
This is the first video I've seen from you and I imagined it would be a tough project and something that would be hard to make look good. What you made looks great and seems to work really well.
+npsantini haha. Thanks!
Thanx Max, I have enjoyed your splendid staff. Keep it coming. I am currently working on something that needs a camera slider. You have helped,....
After seeing this kind of stuff, i think, people with whom i planin to share this, will start making their own rigs by your design soon. Thanks for your efforts to making this video happen.
Thank you very much! Please send pictures when they do!
I hope this will happen as soon as possible. Still. Keep making this kind of videos it's very useful. I'm myself not a man with a hands in the right place for doing all this, but can you tell, will this rig work for DLS Cameras like Canon 5D Mk II/IV or others with same sizes?
Сергей Владимирович Yes you can use it with heavy cameras if you use a nema 17 motor with a gearbox. You can get them with 1:5 up to 1:51!
Thanks!
Super easy. All you need is a motor, a tonne of electronics, hours of time, a 3d printer, resin, a drill, different drill bits, belt, pulley, soldering iron, solder, screws, and even more time to learn how to do it all.
Great DIY but this is by no means an efficient/cheap option unless you happen to already have a shop readily available and a lot of patience haha
you can do it cheaper recycling an old printer , it has already a rail an step motor, the band and only need to buy an arduino
Good idea.
to his credit, the title does not include "easy".
@@SirSyao Hmmm, maybe that Panasonic KXP-1124 in the closet will have a new purpose after all.
The idea of these videos is to show you the principles of how such things work. If you want one you can invest the time to learn how to do it. The exact details here are not important, and you should make what suits you. For example, I can see the advantage of using the Arduino's USB port to make the slide fully programmable with a PC app to programme the moves and provide true repeatability of shots. And of course the sort of person who will take this on is exactly the sort of person who has amassed the skills and tools to do it.
Nice attention to details, and great sample footage at the end! I like the drone mount idea too.
+Jeremy Cook's Projects Thank you very much! I was lucky with the timing. I got out of bed and saw the solar panels covered in frost and it was the first sunny day in weeks.
How can somebody deslike this video? It was well done and edited. Good job Max
You are really good with the editing of your video’s next to all the stuf you make. And i like that you are German, i feel like a lot of content creators are American (nothing agains Americans, i just find it refreshing since i am Dutch) grtz from the Netherlands!
Thanks for watching! Greetings to the Neatherlands!
Suggestion, change to 4 momentary push buttons one for seconds, one for 10s of seconds +/-, and i2c LCD screen Use that for speed control.
Also add micro switches for at the end of travel for safety.
OR you could also use 5 buttons, +/-, select, enter, back. and then you can adjust things like speed/distance/repeat (go back and forth non-stop) as well
Great video Max! This is super cool.
+Crafted Workshop Thank you very much!!
1,2,3,4 = 10s? Or 10h? Wow this is so cool! You can definitely sell this as a kit!
+Epic Benjo I would but I don't know electronics haha
Nice build, well done Max!
+Dan Bowie Thank you!!
Can this hold a DSLR camera. How much weight do you think it can pull?
Only producers with engineering can get this ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌
I wouldn't have the skill to do this. Great stuff!
At first I didn’t have either.
@@MaxMakerChannel So true. We all learn
Nice bit of work really enjoyed it
+TECH 404 Thank you! More videos coming soon.
This is absolutely epic Max!
Hey Max, just stumbled onto your channel. I really enjoy the way you present your builds, very enjoyable to watch. I look forward to your future content! Keep up the good work!
+mheiny Hey! Welcome to the club and thank you very much!
I love these types of projects
+Ishu Gangwar I am glad you do.
Max, you are a genius! Nice work
Thank you!
Wow ... Perfect.... Thanks for that video!
please please continue making brother.. you aRE BIG inspiration:)
I will! Thanks for your kind words!
one word...genius!
+Julian Davies Ah. Its not that difficult if you put a lot of work into it.
Hello from India,
You earned a subscription.
Namaste! Thank you!
Huge dude that's lit 🎉🔥
Great Build!
+RJ_Make Thank you!
You know the video is going to be good when you hear a European scientist accent.
Great idea and well done. Thanks a lot.
+Dragan Drazic Thank you! I am glad.
Good Luck Man For Future
Doing Mind Blowing
+TECH STUDIO Thanks! New video coming out very soon!
if you can get a TMC2208, go get it because you cannot really hear the motor because it is so quiet and smooth. And you can set parameters via UART
Just awesome and love the accent.
+Andrew Small Thank you! I could live without it.
Very cool max.
I like this MAX !
Thanks!
Ohhh , really a great engineering.
Such A perfectionist you are
Good job
Thanks!
How about coding the Ardino to calculate ramping at each end, so as to create a smooth start and stop? I love your work!
Really nice.
A nice feature to implement in the code would be speed ramping. That helps a lot for really nice timelapses
+Antoine Quirion Couture That is a good idea. So far I chopped away the start and the end to get rid of the shaking. How would you implement it?
Max Maker unfortunately , I have zero experience in arduino programmation .
But take a look at what rhino slider does . It's really a amazing motorised slider
Good video - love so much about this video. *Drill 1 motor screw hole then recreate a box shape to accurately centre the other 3 holes instead of drilling all 4. There are some excellent woodwork tricks that eradicate errors when doing tasks like this.
+The Mouse Yeah that is a good idea. The holes came out alright. The problem was more that they interfered with the curved rails on the other side.
Ok, well I was responding to hearing "drilled 4 holes, only 2 screws fit". Can't help you with curved rail issue, LOL. All yours!
Looks brilliant, I have no electronics knowledge, wish I knew someone who did
CREATORS ARE THE SECOND GOD OF UNIVERSE.
Well done! Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and welcome!
If it’s cold in your workshop, you can use a heat gun on low blow setting to dry the paint faster.
I thought the build was great... then.. you just casually printed a case... Great job, loved the vid
Nice work!
Really nice project!
Thanks!
This is realy cool!!
[5:01] I think the last speed "1,2,3,4" should be labeled as "10h" instead of "10s"
4 bit controller is just a great idea!!!
luxo9300 Thanks!
Awesomeeeee! Thanks Max
+Shamar Milton You'r welcome.
should make a flat electric vibration damping machine.
3 copper coils in triangle formation with their ends free, spring in center, a plate with magnets in correlation with coils, clever code that can use the polarity to attract and repel the magnets and place the plate in certain position. add a gyro to counter vibration and boom a flat electric vibration damping machine. gets rid of more vibration than silicon mounts.
Beautifully designed for smooth movement
wow great slider. Wanna make this one from my old printer rod.
subscribed..
+A Nurkholis Weocome! Good luck and share your build with me on twitter or Instagram!
amazing!! No end switches? Cant this now self-destruct if the motor keeps scrolling itself after the stop?
The belt would just slip.
Thank you for this video tutorial
Fantastic video, well done ;-)
+DCTTeacher1 Thank you!
very well done. I do not understand what is the problem for these 13 people who do not like this video, maybe a little jealousy or may be your neighbors :)
amazing job
Awesome share mate... 👍👍
Klasse gemacht gefällt mir außerordentlich gut LG.Pidi
Nice! If only i had the confidence to work with metal :P
Aluminium can be worked just like wood, just that you don’t need to care about grain structure and all that.
hi max have now finished builing mine using your code etc and your circuit ,only trouble im getting is when turn the supply on to judders have tried putting a bigger capacitor in also tried a diode across the input but it still judders on start up just wondered did you have idea what it is .great design anyway ok
Great work ✌
+Dontmess with Kumar Thank you!
This is so clever well done
Interesting... I like the fact that it has arduino control- in which case- it is open source output - that can be modified with code and software control. I need a motorized slider rig that can 1) read any motion given from software, 2) repeat that motion seamlesly several times, and 3) do same motion but with frame by frame steps (for stop motion camera move)
You are a God!
Awesome! Just found your channel and subscribed immediately!! :) Cool slider!
Burken Productions Thank you!
Solid build! agree working on electronics IS relaxing as long as you have the proper tools! You may have convinced me to try this build. Thanks for sharing!!
+Dylan Saliba Thats cool. Please send a picture if you do. What is your background?
I'm a commercial cinematographer by trade but I like to make films with my friends on the weekends. I'll be sure to post a pic!
+Dylan Saliba Cool. What brands or systems do professionals use?
We use anything we can get our hands on! It's the photographer, not the camera! :D
Haha. I shoot on an iPhone : )
It's what I need to level up my drum cover videos ...
진짜 잘만드셨네요 충분히 따라할수도 있게끔 잘 설명해주셔서 감사합니다
very cool! thanks
Thanks for watching!
i recommend to use knob just to controll all the speed. it pretty less size needed
Man this is good.
Thanks for watching!
Hi there. I built one recently and powering it with a 9v battery . It doesn’t pull my DSLR. Any idea if upping the voltage might help ?
This was great! Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome!
Cool! Camera with an umbrella :)
You made my day)
Nicly described the content in the video👍
+Ninad Taralekar Thank you!
you're a wizard
You can use analog input with variable-resistor for fine tuning control of speed
Awesome
Love it!
+Hodgepodge Thank you!
Thanks
Hi Max, thank you for your VDO, this awesome. Anyway, could you please give me the detail of the Pulley (eg, diameter, teeth) .... Since the information in the Amazon link already dead. Thank you very much ....
Hey. The pulley had about 20 teeth and 2cm diameter.
MAX ... appreciated for your light speed response !!!!
Thanks for letting me know. And cool that you are building one! I changed the instructable and replaced what is missing. Does this help? Let me know if not.
Great video Max. I was working on building a thing Sammy Kamkar came up with called the Combo-breaker, but there are a lot of electronic pieces and I'm overwhelmed with wiring and code dead-ends. Also, the Combo-breaker is essentially worthless and is more of a stunt. This might be a better micro-controller learner tool to build as it's useful and seems to have less moving parts.
Thanks for sharing. My interest in micro-controllers is coming back! :D
I'd like to do some micro-controller stuff to the school bus/tiny home we're building. Maybe having a switch that would close the curtains or something like that. Your camera slider could probably be re-engineered as a curtain opening/closing mechanism.
Thank you! I know the combo breaker. The maths behind it is really clever. Good luck with your coding! I can recomment The Great Scots Arduino 101.
Yeah. This Great Scott video is excellent. Thank you.
+Ian Robinson Sure. Once you wired a stepper and controlled it, you can apply that to all kinds of things.
+Ian Robinson I sometimes watch it myself for reference.
Awesome work...I have doubt, How to control this stepper motor clock wise and anticlockwise ..If any switch is there. Or once reach the slider end automatically come back.. pls explain me ....Thank you
Look into stepper motor basic tutorials for Arduino. There you will learn how to reverse them. It is easy.
Great build, im trying to put this together at the moment. Would you be able to tell me what size cap and resistors you used? Thanks for a great video 👍
Resistors always 10k ohm I think. You find them in the standard “Arduino Switch Tutorial” Each button or switch needs its own resistor.
The cap size is not important 47uF is alright. Thats 47 micro Farad.
I figured as much but wanted to check 👍 should have just googled the stripes but Its nice to talk to you anyway. Thanks for your response, this should be a fun project! Subbed
Good luck!
Hey Max, I've got it all put together and nothings blowing up which is a good start 😅 but I'm using an arduino mega and I can't get the moror to do anything apart from make a bit of a high pitched noise when changing the amperage of the a4988. Is there anything in the code that needs to be removed or changed to make it work correctly? Ant help would be greatly appreciated as now I'm a little stuck. Thanks Max
dude.. you're awesome
Best comment. Thanks
Is it possible to use a variable power knob instead of the switches? One with a pot that could be pushed in to activate/deactivate it? I have no idea what to buy if that can be done.
Yes. Instead of using the 4 switches, you can add a potentiometer. You can probably adjust it in 10 increments by eye, although they won´t be discrete. So you could have 10 settings. (if resistance > 0 &&
Thanks Max, you are a good builder, but the cost of setting up a work shop for this project is so high I might as well just buy the slider I need.
would it be possible to make one with a pwm instead of the switch combinations?
Great video thank you for sharing your knowlege
It's a great video, I love a good BYO. Can you include the video of you adding all the gear to your workshop, learning how to use it and how much you charge per hour for your engineering skills! I appreciate your effort but it's not an option for most of us.
