OK, don't have enough time at the moment but so far the alu-plates and gear with rod is finished. Just going to get the plates its final shape ..... still waiting for the drivemotor. The tripodhead just arrived yesterday. Ballhousing and gears printed in 3D printer, nice to print practically whatever models you need . Sorry if bad pictures but had my pocketcamera at that moment. Will post picture when all is complete and assembled.

Any updates on this project?
