Building an 8ft Orbital Camera Rig for $50
I wanted to create better timelapses for my videos but Orbital Camera Rigs are retailing for $1500-$2500, way out of my budget. So in this video I Design, Code and 3D Print an Orbital Camera Rig that is completely App Controlled using an ESP32, LM2596 Buck Converter and A4988 Driver.
*You can download all the STL files here:* lucasbuildsstuff.com/products/orbital-camera-rig-stl-file
*You can download the code here:* github.com/LucasBuildsStuff/orbital-camera-rig/
_The A4988 may be too noisy for non timelapse applications, I would recommend trying the TMC2208._

This design can be scaled to fit any size printer, even an Ender Extender 400xl! In this video I ...

    I did my original set up for my lasers with CPU like fans that plug into a USB. They have speed dials that adjust fan speed too. They work very well but if you have an enclosure that isn't running and hooked into the same feed line, the smoke fills the second enclosure. So I'm trying to find a work around for this without having to add another fan that runs independently of the second laser. I tried baffles to control airflow and they have a limited effect on preventing air from going into an enclosure.

    To use a tourbillon just as a decorative piece was a bit counterintuitive and a little offensive considering the table itself is a watch however it is 3d printed so to use it for it's purpose will make it inaccurate so I'lll let it slide. Though the work put into the figuring the amount of steps for the stepper motor is admirable and well done. Nevertheless, great job on the project.

I would probably do the computer fan setup and throw a small fan on the bottom of the printer to move air around in the printer while the exhaust fans run on a timer.

    My biggest question is how did you find straight 2x8s because all the long 2x4s at my local big box stores are all warped. Thought about doing this with a 3/4" plywood frame then laminate them together to make the frame out of 1.5" plywood. Think that would be strong enough?

    • @LucasBuildsStuff
      @LucasBuildsStuff 6 місяців тому

      I played with the curve in the wood. The long 2x8s on the sides are placed like a smile, while the ones on the front/back are placed like rainbows. The 2x4s on the roof are all placed like rainbows. The reason the 2x8s on the sides are different is because the main support is in the middle. I'm not a carpenter though, so I did what seemed to make the most sense, I'm not sure about plywood 🤔
