It looks like they may be a bit more expensive but may be a bit more rugged. Do you all think that a Linear Actuator with 4 inches of travel would be able to replace all of the…[Read more]
i have stated this already on another thread – linear actuators will add weight and need room. question is also how speed will compare with Gael’s solution. believe me – you look at a lot of time required to redesigning the bot. do not underestimate time to design and print modified parts. I did not encounter mechanical issues with the current…[Read more]
