My 2dof motion office chair

For more freedom of movement of the rod ends I use spacers.

I built a special screw for the lever to attach the pot to it.

In addition I drilled a M6 thread into the head of an M8 screw.


Then I built the driver out of an aluminum square solid material.
On the one hand I have a M6 thread drilled and on the other
a 6 mm hole for the poti shaft.


Drilled across a through hole for a screw and made a saw cut along.
So I can squeeze the driver around the potentiometer shaft

Hi, are you finished your project? Can you post any updates? I'm watching !

Calm down, an old lady is not a D-train
but I have actually continued to work on it this morning.

After putting the motion module together and the positions for the brackets are ok for the moment,
I added extra screws for better stability and then I placed and aligned the module on the turnstile.


Then I removed the casterwheels from the turnstile, put it on a plate with a hole for the gas spring
and mounted the seat.


After taking seat for a while, I found that the whole thing was a bit too high for me.
In addition, the chair with the large plate underneath is very difficult to move.

So I removed the two spacer plates under the universal joint and replaced them with metal sheets.



In order to be able to move the chair better, I have removed the plate again
and instead used sliding feet in the holders for the casterwheels.



So I can move it better now.

Unfortunately, I can not weld because I can no longer work as a mechanic
and I do not know anyone who has a welder. So I glued everything to
a strong two-component glue.


I filled the threaded sleeve with the glue and then screwed it onto the motor shaft
and screwed on the lever. Then, from the outside, I gradually applied several layers
of the glue and allowed to harden.



Unfortunately, because the gears are not self-locking, I still have to think of a way
to fix if I just want to sit.
At the moment I put glasses under it.


So the trial version is now ready for the first ride.

So I did it

That was really fast! I got the discount code today. Thanks so much!
I then booked a download package and have ever allowed myself a few plugins.
I also wanted to download the plugin for Elite Dangerous, but clicking on the banner
will result in an error message:
You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

@noorbeast thank you very much but do i have to spent coins
for access to the download area even if I bought a download package? I´ve bought the
one year package.
In the description that sounds like either or:
You can get them with coins for activity or by purchasing a download package

Yes @RaceRay I only get the error message when I try to download the plugin for elite.
For the others, I had no problem so far. Yes, the problem still exists.

Thank you @RaceRay for your help.
The link worked, I was able to download the plugin.
And thank you too @noorbeast .

I've tested the sim for a few hours now and I can say that the glue joints last.
However, it occasionally rolls to the left and only moves back to the middle position
when I unplug the USB plug and insert it again.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

Thanks @noorbeast it was a problem with the load
but the lever length was not the problem.
I had not aligned it properly the last time I put it together.
If he moved forward to the left, he put on.
Now he is running again.

Yeah, finally real internet again.
The move was unfortunately more expensive than expected,
so the upgrade of the simulator will be delayed for some time.
