Linear Actuator V2 (Fiber-Optic Scanning)

The is the revamped edition of my original design, found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:394306.
Designed as a linear scanning device for a fiber-optic carbon nano-crystal detector.

New features include:

  • guidance rail for shaft
  • fewer moving parts; simpler setup
  • dramatically reduced slop on moving axis (accurate to .5 mm)
  • greater travel range (4.5 cm)
  • small cavity under controller mount to store excess wire
  • fiber clamp at end of shaft
