    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF
    Im designing a 2Dof and one of the concerns I have about the typical u-joint based builds is to be more flexible in terms of the loads the platform can handle. Specially in designing mine to have three monitors integrated into the moving frame so I don’t want to have to play too much finding the perfect balance and rather have more like a fixed spot to place the u-joints where I can get a good compromise between platform efficiency and ease of setup.
    Are there any projects out there having an additional u-joint in the front besides the one that goes below the seat?
