Showroom DX - Compact Simulator

Thanks @iliga.

I am just in the process of finishing up rewiring my sim, as PSUs, control boards and 3 temporary onboard amplifiers have been moved to the computer stand box I built for that purpose quite some time ago. Two new amplifiers are to be ordered to replace the existing 3 once Game Vibe is available.

I use the HP DPS-600PB B PSUs, for space reasons, and they are modified like this: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/how-to-modify-a-server-power-supply-for-12v.5774/

I toyed with the idea of adding traction loss but decided against it. I would rather go to 4DOF should I decide to upgrade from my current 3DOF.

I wanted a compact design, which is why the motors are placed where they are. A compact design needs more torque to drive it but done properly works well.

The front configuration suits the assisted heave I have implemented @mirkobastianini. All simulators are about design choices and compromise.

A 4DOF would give me TL, but I would change the frame design for it.

Thanks for your kind words.

Those are the sort of questions you ask on your own build thread, perhaps with links to the various builds of other members that you find interesting. They can then respond back on your build thread. That keeps all the information pertinent to your project in one place and does not clutter the build threads of other members.

A bit of an interim update.

I built a computer dock ages ago anticipating a rewire and additional hardware, particularly for transducer support: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/dx-racer-compact-simulator.5866/page-12#post-81158

Now that SimTools 2.0 is out and Game Vibe is in the pipeline I have started the transition and rewiring for the computer dock.

The computer dock currently houses 3 temporary amplifiers, one under the JRK control plate at the front, one at the rear of the box for external PA speakers and the original Buttkicker amp hanging off the back. These will soon be replaced with a 2 channel 300W Class D Audio amplifier board and 2x4 channel 100W Class D amplifier boards, along with an additional 36V PSU.

I have connected the first of 2 Pyle Pro control amplifiers. They manage the existing on-board and external audio plus existing transducer, but will also allow on the fly adjustment for a bunch of new transducers once Game Vibe is available.

The dock also houses the 3 HP PSUs and JRKs, which are cooled by 2x120mm fans. One slim 80mm fan is used at the rear of the dock.

Cables now quick connect to the simulator base using 2x9 pin trailer plugs, a dual USB/3.5 audio plug and 12V plug for on-board power.

I am still waiting on new USB3 extender cables for the Rift sensors and have yet to run the temperature sensor cables from the front mount touch control fan panel with audio heat alarms to the JRKs.

As I had more room in the compact sim base I have added 3x80mm cooling fans for the motors, they don't even get warm now!

I also rebuilt the rear motor arm seat connection bracket so it is a lot tidier.

Do you mean the actual motor and gearbox dimensions @abs, if so they are here: https://www.motiondynamics.com.au/worm-drive-motor-12v-24v-200w-180-rpm-20nm-torque.html

Work materials are good, the movement is too small, there should be no push back feeling

As to your comment my sim was designed to suit my requirements, to have fast precise movement over a relatively small axis movement for use with VR, not your criteria, whatever that may be!

No, there is a little bit of cushioning compression of the thick rubber feet, which is why they are used, but the sim does not wobble, though it is about as compact as is practical:
