    I have already purchased a 3dof platform, but want to have a go at making my own. I will share my build plans as soon as I finish working them out, but at the moment my plan is for a compact 6dof I already have:

    6x 24v 350w motors with gearboxes.
    3x Sabertooth 2x32
    1x Arduino Micro

    I am now looking a for a power supply that would allow me to run 6x 24v 350w motors. Can anyone recommend me a decent power supply?

    I used a meanwell se-600-24 switching led drive on the sabertooth 2x32 in my 2dof build. Used the voltage clamp and no battery needed. 3 of these, (or larger units per motor demands) one per sabertooth, should work well for you.
