    I wanted to have a lifting axis.
    So I cut everything down again ...

    I took over the principle of Simukit for the platform. Only with 3 motors. So all 3 motors can rotate freely, without damaging anything, should that happen once.

    I support the engines with 4 springs. 2 front for the engine in the middle and one for each engine behind

    Thank you !
    But I have to thank myself, because without the many contributions and help from the forum I would probably still play with steering wheel and Joystik at the desk.

    About 90% of the ideas come from the forum !!

    Thanks all :)

    Hello, Good job, thanks to share it with us. I'm considering "upgrade" my 2DoF to 3DoF too. Originally there was installed two wheelchair motors with 250W 75rpm that perform very well but as far as I know putting another one is not enough to lift me and the structure (wothout help of springs). My intention is install all three new motors (PGSaw like) 500W each. What is the power of your new motors? Thank you!
