Odrive 6 Dof (base on Silentchill and Peacemaker design)

Hi every body.
This my new thread building 6 dof motion simulator using Odrive
my design is combine from @SilentChill and @Peacemaker105 design. Thanks for your sharing

Parts for 1 actuator:

Motor 6364 200kv x1
MKS Odrive V3.6 x1
Ballscrew 1605 600mm x1
Aluminum tube 12x2mm x6.
FK12 x1
RJMP 01-12
uPVC tube 90x2.7mm
Ball bearing 6000z 26x8x10mm x
Lots of screw m4, m5, m8...
PETG filament
PSU 36v 16.7A (run but i thing need to change Cisco 6000W psu for all actuator)


Here some pics and running test video:

to be continue...

Hi tuanlai,

I just started a similar build to yours. I am also using the teachings of @SilentChill and @Peacemaker105 amongst others. I have two questions maybe you can help with-
What made you choose the dc motors over the ac version? Cost is a perfectly acceptable answer but if there are other technical reasons (eg ease of setup/ power use/ responsiveness etc) I would love to know. My rudimentary understanding is that the trade off is ac is more expensive for motors but cheaper for controls and power set up vs dc which have cheaper motors but more expensive power supply requirements.

Also what was the deciding factor for 1605 vs 1610 ball screw? Again if your answer is “I used the following equation/ software/ buddy told me” please enlighten me. I am so new I have literally nothing to guide my choices so your input would be most appreciated.

thanks Ng23

Oh also I really like your build. I hope I can get close to your standards

Hi Ng23.
I am so new like you too.

- For sure, cost is first reason make me choose dc motor. when i have more money i will not choose odrive and dc motor. setup them make me crazy. My advice for new like me not choose dc motor if you have enough money.
Im building only 2 actuator. my budget not enough to make all at the time.
Other reason that i love to DIY, thats all.
- My motor from Chinese, im not sure about performent, and that you said " i used the following equation" so i choose 1605 like the other.

Sorry for bad english.

hello I was also first desperate to set up the drive, firmware, and config.but it's easy everything is actually already done just download from the internet.I can create a 3d file of a similar linear actuator as this one on this page but for odrive.https://vn-motion.com/?fbclid=IwAR3ZtLr78P1TjHOLJLJguKM55ULbGzzVnTJjamyIWIPsMsz5yL8oTUoHzZ4
Victor and James helped us thx guys

Thanks Misoswan!
I have seen similar to this and it is inspiring. I would love a 3d file of an actuator- thank you. Right now I am working on a top down philosophy- I am going to mock up a cockpit with my racing and flight controls and see what it teaches me.
I have to go pick up a welding table now so more shortly.
