    Hey all,

    I stumbled across the idea of a motion simulator and now it's kind of an obsession. It's perfect combination of various hobbies that I already work on. I'm currently designing an actuator to eventually build a 6 DOF platform.

    Hi guys! My name is Stefano and i live in Parma, Italy. In 2017 i built my sim but only now i consider it finished .... actually i want to add some details ... but it's finished. A few days ago I bought simtools, and now the sim works like a charm!! Thanks for the wonderful work. I will shortly present my work in the diy section of the forum, stay tuned!

    Hi all Members
    I'm new one from Poland . Like a.smith wrote " it's kind of an obsession" :)
    I start with WMR + G29 and than look for stand setup... till I find this place (most advance forum)
    Plan is : 3 x 24v 200w DC motor (2 on rear and 1 on front), 3 x bts7960 , arduino and 2 komuters.
    I want mix idea gear motors to pusch linear bearing as vertical actuator, that shuld eliminate lower frame :)
    Stage: buying parts
    Regards to All.

    Welcome @seuszok

    You can sometime save time, money and frustration by outlining your project before going too crazy ordering stuff, that way you can draw on the collective expertise of the community here.

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here to show off your rig: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project, I look forward to following your build thread.

    Sounds like pretty solid reasons to me ;)

    Hi guys,
    Im a mechanical engineering student who loves modelling and printing stuff on 3D printers. Now I'm mainly focussed on rims but I would like to DIY a complete rig at one point. I have a belt drive using EMC and an Arduino, and a custom rim using simhub and and a pro micro.
    I learnt about this site after seeing it zoom past on reddit and I would like to thank all the guys who have posted on here as it's full of usefull information.

    Hi,

    I've just joined the forum. I'm based in Poland and I'm building a 2 DOF motion rig using wiper motors (4 off). It's actually nearly done mechanically - will post progress and lessons learnt soon. Hope it works

    Before attempting a motion sim build, I already had some bass shakers and vibration motors hooked up to my play seat using SimHub - they work very well. Last step for full immersion is some motion!

    cheers,
    captain Jack

    Hi, all.
    I am from China and on my way to a DIY motion-simulator.My favorite sim application is X-plane 11 and Microsoft flight simulation 2020, coz I love flight simulation. I wish i will be able to accomplish that with the help of you guys have rich experience.

    Hi all..
    I'm from Indonesia. I'm new to sim racing and just finish my own DIY steering wheel using STM32 and EMC pro software. It's pretty awesome project and I cannot believe it works. and now I join the community to look for information about 2DOF. hope I can learn a lot from here. thx..
