Hannibal's thread into DIY motion platform

Hi ,
Only for your info , if you want to do your top Rig like me ( thanks @pmvcda ),alu .. 40 mm square is perfect but if you found something like ( 60 x 40 mm) on the top is better for flex ( back and front) ( see pic).
@SilentChill

wow, i like how you connected your heim joints... i will either go that way, or use the L-channel like some of the other guys...
yes, i was going to go 50mm x 25mm (11 guage) or 75mmx 40mm (14 guage)

how thick are your metal tubes @Flymen

i like to know your angles as well..?

about 3mm

Hi @hannibal ok was gonna say the design i had worked for me but to be honest its been a while since i did those first few trial runs glad to hear i did not give you false info and its not as bad as first thought ., things have moved on since that design was put out there so hopefully u can get more up to date dims , sorry for the scare

yes 30/ 60 degrees like your red line .

And I have angles for the feet at the end ! see pic

ok. got it.. 30/60 both on top and side..

ur joints are absolute perfection... @Flymen

when i first was designing frame, i looked at @pmvcda 's i was trying to understand the diagram, i knew there was truth.
not easy to figure out what ppl did when many pages of post of what you guys did, i go back between your info, sixdegrees and silentchill...
i studied everyone dimensions.. i try to go match you guys, and seeing silentchills videos, i thought i i figured it out.
i am truly grateful for everything that everyone shared.. <3 @wannabeaflyer2

yesterday my racing seat came in.
i bought a momo start.
didnt meet my expectations for a 400$ chair. lucky from amazon.. going to return.

i think i will try seats at microcenter and buy from there or at least point to direction on a comfortable seat.. this bucket seat thing seems to do just that.. i am in a bucket... lol

$400 chair what did you buy? Pewdiepie chair? Lol

it was a FIA approved chair.. but man, i feel like its made to go up in space.. literally a bucket.. im returning it though.

this weeks antics...

rebuilt bottom frame and almost finished painting. utlitmately each side was the length of an actuator at mid point plus the distance between two actuator heim joints... @pmvcda tried to make it simple in the diagram, but i was not sharp enough to catch that important dimension!

went to microcenter to try chairs out. wow. many were super comfy. ended up picking a noble chair. even got a discount because of mispriced store label.

my sample igus came in! but on impatient, chinese poly bearings came in also..

me trying to plan top frame. going with A500 tube, 14 guage... depending highly on coworker to accomplish

i like to thank @SilentChill and @Avenga76 for making my wind simulator possible

about to take the plunge and get the premium download package for the plugin downloads!
i support this community!

behold.. the top frame! i dont know if building is just starting or almost over

Is it aluminium or steel? Hard to tell.
Looks good.

it looks like steel and arc welding...

ha ha! it's a good stepstone, but only the beginning

steel.
1-1/2 × 1-1/2 , 14 guage.

im starting to attach to actuators.
jeez @SilentChill makes it look easy..

im using the valve index box to prop the assembly up
