    Hi guys, I’ve been absent for a while, had an accident and have had to have back surgery and have been told that I cannot even think about a 6dof system anymore…so… I am looking to sell my 500mm actuators and associated stuff.
    Basically, all six actuators are meticulously assembled complete with 4 x 5 metre cables and 2 x 3 metre cable sets, all shielded cables. Servo drivers are all mounted in a Speegles rack - each driver has an individual emi filter. Thanos controller and remote is fitted to the rack - all very beautifully cabled and labeled. All 3d printed parts are in eSUN Super Tough PLA, all 3d parts are at least 60% infill except where 100% infill is called for. All have been printed at 0.16 layer height or less as required and are all finely finished. All nuts, bolts fittings etc are stainless steel. System comes with Departed Reality base frame brackets and hardware as yet unused, and also the cockpit kit bracket kit also unused. I’m also selling a very nice powerful water cooled computer on a neat roll around dolly to run everything.
    Location is West Sussex UK. I’d rather sell this for collection as it is a lot of heavy stuff to safely and securely crate up for transportation. I can take pictures of everything on request. Sensible enquiries only please.

    Feel free to call me on 07968 819 122 if you have any questions. Thanks for reading.

    As promised some pics below - more to follow if necessary.
    A couple of additional motes…All ball screws are Xiang Long high quality, low noise type and all have grease nipples fitted. Pics show one actuator - the other five are identical. Top end of the actuator has a 3mm sorbothane vibration ansorber under each ball joint. Pics show the Departed reality ball joints yet to be fitted. The five additional actuators (six in total) are identical to the one pictured.
    The Thanos controller remote is Velcro’d onto the front panel.
    All in all, it’s a carefully thought out and tidy installation.
    Each servo driver has a 10 amp EMI filter beneath it. The Power strip is fed by a 20 amp EMI filter. I chose to use a 9 way power strip to avoid the possibilities of ground loops.

    £3k please. All you’ll need is some base extrusion, cockpit extrusion and TR160 cockpit and seat for an amazing 6dof system. The servos and actuators are always the most expensive part of any build - this is an opportunity to save over £3k on the total build cost.

    Dear Goflying, I am very interested in your offer. Currently I have an SFX100 system but would like to experience using a full 6DOF system. I will be be in the UK shortly, if possible I could collect on the 9th Sept after agreeing a price with you.
