    I recycle, I will reuse a 24v power supply and a 24v converter => 12v and 24v => 5v

    below there is 6cm useful place for cables and other ....

    vulbas,
    Looking great friend.
    Can I assume the gold color "bars" are the braking resistors you were mentioning?
    Will you show us the double bottom?

    vulbas,
    Thanks. I thought those were the resistors.
    Looking forward to the double bottom pics....

    Tom

    PS - Got my "custom spring" ordered - only one manufacturer in the US would give me a quote - 340.00 US for one - 360.00 for two - bought the second one and @speedy suggested I make a childs see-saw or horse with spring for my grandkids.....that's what "me" will do. I about dropped in my tracks when they gave me the price, BUT a stock spring was 175.00 - only in US.

    360 for two is a good price.
    I hope that there will be no rotational play.

    Ah I see the full picture now, I do see another top quality build coming out of your workshop again.
    Do love the pinball table and built one after seeing yours.
    As for inspiration, you will leave the Ckas unit for dead, lol there software is pretty lame, slow and mussy feel , they have one a SimWorld here in my city.
    Doesn't get used much.

    vulbas,
    LOVE what your doing and the electronics box is superb!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow - I would have never thought about the "false" bottom....just great!!!

    Answer to thread #29 - I'm glad you said the the $360 was a good price - "me" feels a little more justified in purchase. - I am using a 1.25" Spline Shaft and Spline Collar - Zero yaw/sway movement.

    Thanks so much and have a blessed one!

    Tom

    vulbas,
    Your are so right - "me" thought and thought and penciled away that I could do my 3dof, complete for about 2200.00 US -
    WELL, WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot to add machine shop fees, custom spring fees, an RS simulator for top, steering wheels, pedals, Saitek flight controls X52Pro (well already had them), and ALL the little incidentals you NEVER dream about - like cost for wire etc...........PLUS A NEW PC BUILD -
    WELL, "ME" now thinking I'll have just a few cents under 5000.00 - still good value....

    I can ONLY imagine what your 6dof is going to cost in the end????

    Have a blessed one,

    Tom
