    Hello,

    Very cool project, the frex-like simulator. I'm following it for a while now and i'm very interrested in building one too. Maybe i can help a little bit with the following site for building the actuators.

    http://www.stappenmotor.nl

    Can't wait to begin. Next month i'm going to start building the frame after i've ordered the alu-profiles and brackets. Keep up the good work guys. Hope there is any progress soon with the actuators and the controller ofcourse.

    Regards,

    Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen

    Welcome!

    Thanks for the link. But the prob is to build a cheap linear guidance. We'd need some cheap ballscrew or Trapezodial screw drives.

    The ballscrews you linked are not really expensive, but too pricey for me :(

    regards

    Ok... Maybe you can tell me the specs of the parts that i need from their site so i can build 1 or 2 actuators to begin. Or would it be cheaper if i ordered the scn5?

    regards
