My New Camera Slider is a Big Fail. But I’m Gonna Fix It!

I've had an idea bouncing around in my head for a new piece of camera equipment that combines the best qualities of a slider and a jib. So it's time to see if I can make my idea a reality and put theory to the test. It's prototyping time! But learning to make a counterbalanced slider that also works as a jib turns out to be a lot trickier than anticipated. Thankfully Bambu Lab's new H2D printer is here to help me out!
