The motorised gimbal is finally built! Well, mostly. :)

Those that watched the live streams a few weeks ago or saw my Eryone PLA+ review, will know that I printed out ‪@fhuable‬'s awesome motorised gimbal. I did an initial test in regular PLA, modified a few parts, and then reprinted it with Eryone PLA+. Now I've got it built up and I've put together this video as a sort of assembly guide.

If you want to build your own, you can get ‪@fhuable‬'s files on MyMiniFactory...
