Following the directions from my images, it should be pretty straight forward to make your own motorized dolly.

But remember this requires a few more tricks than just 3D printing:

Buying parts online, most of them on ebay
Getting small fasteners
Machining pulleys to fit bearings
Soldering cables to motor

Luckily, everything is explained!

Go try it!

I used :

Magic Lantern on my EOS 7D for setting time-lapse
LR Timelapse & Lightroom for editing
After-Effect to render the video (sometimes I used a warp stabilization at 1 or 2% because of the wind..)

Good luck'
