Hi all here's a few pictures and a video showing my progress so far and I'll keep you posted

I designed the U joints in ticker CAD and 3D printed them in carbon fiber PLA and the top pieces are in petg cuz I ran out of carbon fiber but the bottoms are carbon fiber pla the bolts go around the cross bearing through the mount and into the steel plate that mounts to another steel plate that connects to the actuator and the bottoms go around this prospering through the mount and into the middle of the base so triple redundancy bolted basically

Okay well as I've suspected. The ABS is completely the wrong material to use for the motor mounts. I couldn't even get my allthread into the thread inserts before splitting the motor mounts printed with abs, even at 80% infill. So like I recommended to start with I switched over to CARBON FIBER PETG ( CF PETG ). So I'm at a standstill until I print six new motor mounts which they're 24 hours a piece print time so that's another week I have to wait before I can Assemble.
Bummer.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they will the carbon fiber pla is really really strong. I tried the carbon fiber PEtG, I don't know why people think that petg is so strong. It's brittle as hell is my experience I think the carbon fiber pla is way stronger. so I'm just going to go with that. Only problem is it's $30 a roll and I only get two motor mounts per roll so I need three roll so it's another $100. Lol

Hey @noorbeast, do the proportions look close to workable? You have seen moore working rigs than me so your opinion on dimensions is valued.

I decided to mock it up. Its weird... your much more talkative in other threads that I see lol

Thats full extension

I meant no accusing tone or anything like that towards you I was merely making conversation never mind I mean just forget I said anything I didn't mean to make it sound like I was accusing you of anything or anything like that I don't know why you're so upset. My comment had nothing to do with just one particular answer it was an observation over the entire course of our conversations

The input 220v plugs on the side are each an EMI filter

Some more driver cabinet. The wires are hung that way in an effort to keep them separated to keep the power wires away from the encoder cables is why they're hung that way and not strapped down nice and neat and tidy

I'm going to put power to it right now and I will upload a video to YouTube and post a link on here to update my progress thank you wish me luck.
Oh and PS the plank of wood in the middle of the Rig that the wires lay on. that's the only way I can think to separate the power wire from the encoder wires at the moment. until I come up with a better system that's what I had laying around the house. some of your thoughts on separating those two you bunches of wires in the middle of my my rig would be great if anyone has any thoughts u

please excuse the mess. been workin non stop on it. Please watch all the way thru to 2nnd clip
