UPDATE, So i had it working but there is much calibration that i currently don't have the time to deal with. I added a bunch of copper pennies to the bottom in a case. not sure how much weight i added.
So here is my View currently as i see it now. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
The Good
The Build work and the frame is Solid, it moves nice and has very good return force for 5V on 12V motors. nice range of movement as well.
Future thing that would be great, feedback of-course.
The Bad
The Gearbox, i have slip in one of my 3 gearboxes again, the Calibration mostly i need to spend more time on it, but if the controller hits the wrong spot if got in to this trying to center loop and just keep moving the effector plate until you help it out might be better with a full handle on top. i think the unit needs to be connected to the table to fix the weight issues and a issues of sliding forwards and back as you try to move those direction.
The Ugly
Gears... Dam Gears, can just get one set, gotta get a whole wack of them to get the needed 3 or 4 gears and when i checked the bag i orders some gear where missing but i got the ones i needed. need thicker ones to with hope stop the slipping, Mod 0.8 dont seem to work well enough and i cant seem to get them to print nice enough.
Post some question if you have any, i will make a GIT and upload what i have sofar maybe some one whats to see about building a better gear box. I have another project i need to get back to.
