    Hi Boys and Gals,

    So I wasn't initially intending on posting any of my progress, but I figured this will keep me honest and accountable, also more likely to see this thing till the end.

    Long story short, I always wanted to build a 6DOF rig and after coming across the recent threads from both @PeterW and @SilentChill (and @Peacemaker105 recent update), and recent influx of readily available, off the shelf parts with most kinks worked out I figured now would be a good time to get started.

    So here we are, shamelessly putting @PeterW 's CAD model to good use :D
