    I assembled a wooden frame to test the platform with all the necessary weight

    But too much weight causes the moorins to heat up in a short time ...

    To avoid a great overheating of the motors, I lightened the structure and on this occasion I still had some experience with the welding machine, but I must say that I am still very far away ...

    I try to complete the structure with everything necessary and then wait to find more performing engines to replace these small ones. Can anyone give me some ideas on where to find inexpensive motors that can do for me ...?

    Not sure of a local supplier but you may be able to get used wheelchair motors at a reasonable price, try the likes of Ebay and disability equipment repair shops.

    no, look for identical ones - same everything (parts, adjustments, parameters in program)
    I use diferent- more milling, printing 3d.....

    I buy 3 wheelhairs, 2 of them looks same (motors) but they are diferent. Its hard to buy secondmarket identical devices in good price. After build rig I think the motors are worth money and if I will build another one - it will be new ones and much more powerfull. In my construction they are in 100% use (worm up quickly).
    Wish You find solution that will be work well in Your opinion after month of use :)
    I think now I should buy more powerfull.

    I want to add some information to make Your decision easier.
    In my case motor work always in pusch mode (one force direction). I dont have pull force so dont have lose click on gearbox during change direction. In 6 dof propably You pusch and pull so they are not good idea. Power I think for 6 of them its ok but lasch not.

    Main problem I had with my setup like this was heat. You could always add some gas struts to help take some of the pressure off the motors.

    Really you want to get some big 24v motors with a decent gearbox

    In order not to abandon this ambitious project, today I thought of converting it into a g-seat type station, hoping to extend the times of use of the engines ....

    I started by making myself a tool to make 60 ° cuts....
