    Hi! So I just built these linear actuators that I want to test using simtools but I can't seem to download the plugins, I keep getting an error:

    "Motion Simulator Community - Error

    You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."

    I have more than 10 coins, what am I missing? I have tried looking through the FAQ but it doesn't seem that people are having my issue.

    Thanks!

    If I have to read the FAQ carefully it's not a good FAQ imo. After reading it for a 3rd time my confusion came about from the idea of a download package. This should be renamed to download privilege or something similar.

    If you would like to earn coins quickly you might start a thread and share your build with pictures. You mention having just built linear actuators. People would like to see how others build the same things.

    True, true, they are in my shop right now. I'll start one soon. It also feels odd since it is mostly from someone else's build form a different forum

    Just show your work, but do give props to those who gave you inspiration, or guidance.

    K, I'll make a post soon. For now I'll test with LFS until I can get the plugins
