About this model

// Here you can find my new project which also use parts from optical drive This is upgrade of my previous version I posted here.I also added second actuator without external shaft.These models differs from the previous version in that they allow to install limit switches inside actuator frame. Parts needed from cd/dvd drive: -3mm shaft -linear stepper motor -slide bushes -M3 screws Optional mouse limit switches - im using these, model D2F-L3 How it works & lift test: Step files: // update added 2 files - A_Frame_with_bearing & A_Cover_with_bearing - this is model A but with fixed mount for LM3UU bearings if you dont have slide bushes.I printed it and all fits well but didnt tested on working actuator Link to bearings for this frame (LM3UU)
