This is a slider leveling base for use on an OpenBuilds V-Slot Gantry.
I have included two bases. The Base - Fixed keeps the hinge point fixed. I have not printed that one but it should work but will restrict the angel from going all the way to 90 degrees...
I found in testing this is adequate for mounting the camera and a light ball head. If you start adding a lot of weight it will flex... I may add a mount with a fixed rather then slot mounting location for the camera... that, with some bracing would be stiffer...
two braces are required, one for each side of the mount.

I'm going to look for thumb screws that fit without hitting the gantry plate as I don't want to have to carry an allen wrench with me...
