    Hi everyone,

    Just a short video to show the rig in action. All plastic parts seems to be good ! My 3D printed linear actuator concept is OK !!!! I tested the rig with 90 Kg user and there was no problem. Demonstration of plastic parts is OK ! Now, it's time to switch to aluminium parts :) !!!! Actuators will be more professionnal and strong ;-) See you next update !

    hi,

    I'm using Brushless DC motor. It's the same motor that you can see on my bench test page 1. Power is about 2450 Watt....

    Can you please start your own build thread and raise all questions relating to it there, rather than across multiple other member threads, which you can link to if relevant.

    Hi, sorry for late,
    The rig is still in development.... I have stopped the rig to update actuators by switching plastic parts with aluminum parts... I must also replace the encoder cable with a high quality shielded cable.... and many things... It takes many times but at the end, the rig and actuators will be stronger !!!! Photos will come soon ;-)

    Hi Will!
    Why do you want to make your actuators stronger? What are the weak parts or areas? I think this is quite interesting for all guys who want to use 3D-printed parts in an actuators
