    Looks good.
    My rig has been down for months. It needs a refresh.
    But, for that, I need time and money. The 2 principal missing parts right now.

    So? Less noise? More stable?

    Hi @Flymen!

    Happy to see another quebecois in sim plateform. I am currently working on one also similar and I was wondering how tge actuator were attach on your setup. Is the bottom part of the actuator attach using a universal joint that does not rotate and top part attach with a ball joint that enable rotation? I saw somewhere else that 1 of the attachments point need to rotate. Best

    Bienvenue Frosted123 (Je suis un Drummondvillois travaillant à Matane).

    My 6 DOF had a universal join at the bottom, not turning. At the top, is a piece similar to this. It is called a Helm's joint.

    Thanks both!



    Another question, I saw somewhere something about an anti-wobble kind of ring that can be fix to the top of the ballscrew. Would one of you be able to share the design?

    Thanks

    It's better if you put a bearing like my last set up ( and two rod ) . the plastic Anti woble is a plaster . go for it with bearing like me or Silent child .
