A Guide to Printing a 3D File
In this link you will find the link to download the 3D file:
It is highly recommended to print the file from ABS filament, in order to keep the product durable over time.
Print settings:
- 0.4mm Nozzle.
- 0.2mm Layers.
- 5 Top layers.
- 4 Bottom Layers.
- 4 Perimeters.
- 23% Infill.
Some Information on the Electric Linear Actuator
The electric linear actuator we use is capable of lifting up to a weight of 80 kg and It's operates on a 12V DC current.
If you want to buy a electric linear actuator from another company, it is important that you buy one with the same technical specifications as the MOTEK LD3 electric linear actuator.
This is its technical specifications for your reference.
Preparation of Stainless Steel Pipe & Rod
Cut the pipe into three units, each 220 mm long.
Sand the end of the rod in a rounded shape so that all the grads are cleaned.
Drill a hole 3 mm in diameter and 5 mm from the end of the pipe.
Cut the 3 mm stainless steel rod into three units, each 5 cm long.
Assembling Electronic Components
Solder the Arduino components (Arduino remote, Arduino nano, Arduino Hbridg) with the lithium battery and the electric linear actuator According to the soldering map.
