Pantogaph Camera Slider!

This is a nonlinear camera slider which I designed in Open-SCAD based upon the idea of pantograph arm which constrains the movement to the same distance in two axis at the same to result in a fluid motion of the camera.
ALso if your interested is seeing more about this project, we created a video detialing it here: https://youtu.be/5L9KPP6Xtkg
Parts Required to build:

Printer: I like these
Rafts: No
Supports: Yes
Resolution: 0.3 or better
Infill: 20% to 40% As needed...
Filiment: Either this http://diy3dtech.com/pla or perferably this one if possiable http://diy3dtech.com/petg
Notes:
Again this print pretty easy with minor cleanup afterwards, however you should use supports in the printing process. Also you will need a vice to press fit the bearings and you should use a cleanup tool (link here: http://amzn.to/2n84hkV) to slightly tapper the opening for the press fit. Also when printing the tripod base, you will need to pause the print around layer 49 (if using 0.3mm as the layer height) to insert two (I used stand zinc) 1/4-20 turn nuts, on for the tripod and the other for the arm.
