    Hi Guys,

    Given your influence and the great guides on here, I have decided to start the build of an ODrive controlled 6DOF rig.

    I have so far built a high powered PC (spec to follow)

    I have also bought everything off @SilentChill List. I have bought SketchUp pro and an Ender 3 3D printer.

    I'll add some pics and prices I have paid and what I have ordered shortly.

    I'll also upload some videos of the build on YouTube.

    Steep learning curve incoming!!!
