Motion Simulator prototype 6dof Stewart Platform

thingiverse

This project is still in development. To create a fully functional 6 degrees of freedom motion platform, you will need to assemble the 3D printed parts, servos, and electronics together. You will have to print the following components: * 6 armendv2.stl * 1 base.stl * 1 basecap.stl * 6 armbearing.stl * 6 armspline.stl * 1 platform.stl * 1 bottom.stl * 6 servolid.stl (these may not be compatible with your specific servo type) You will require the following components: * 6 hobby servos (model number MG996R) * 1 Arduino nano (Elegoo model) * 1 Power Supply (12V 10A recommended) * 1 DC to DC converter (10A recommended, but not required with a 6V power supply) * 1 5.5x2.1mm female power socket * 1 16ch Servo Driver (Adafruit PCA9685) * 6 bearings (624-ZZ model) * 6 M4 rod (~223mm length) * 12 M3 rod ends (Traxxas 5347 model) * 12 M3x30 button head screws * 24 M3x16 button head screws * 30 M4x16 socket cap screws * 6 M4x12 button head screws * 6 M4 nuts * Assorted jumper cables and wire You will need the following tools and consumables: * Soldering iron * Solder * Hex Drivers * Phillips screwdriver * Super Glue The software required for this project includes: * Arduino IDE (version 1.8.7, free) * AdaFruit PWM Servo Driver (free) * SimTools (version 2.3.1, available at xsimulator.net, free) * Live for Speed (available at lfs.net, free)
