Now sadly I have no chance of making something so complicated in the next few years.
I had an idea of a simpler model which would might work as well.
Get a tripod head mount like this

and attach it* so it can only move in one direction and use it to move the camera up and down a cut down crutch (the hospital does not want them back).

*Not sure how any clever ideas?

you got to remember that the item you are photographing has to stay still long enough for you to take multiple shot for stacking.
I have this item attach to your tripod https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stabilizer...TF8&qid=1528842310&sr=8-4&keywords=macro+rail
