Nothing beats a Stewart-Platform! Nice work! What a mechanical beauty.

[@mrburns366]

Amazing! But.. very noisey 😊

[@cdrseabee]

Can't wait to get mine put together

[@frasbo80]

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! That's as many Yes' as stars you deserve. I doff (pun intended) my hat to you sir.

[@tronicgr]

Wow, that's nice!! 🤩

Flag Ghost here (discord). Fantastic. Really quiet too. Going to hit you up on discord.

[@djwillx974]

Nice 👍 👏

[@zmliu9066]

good

[@DK-ic2on]

i like :D

Hi, fantastic project what performance has this platform in order of longitudinal and lateral acceleration?

[@tripltred65]

I want to get started on mine, but I don't even know how to begin. Been trying to source parts. I don't own home a 3d printer.

[@departedreality]

Check out the plans on the Departed Reality website. They do require a 3D printer but you can use a low-end, $200USD, printer. There's an assembly video on our channel and a discord community to provide support.

Cool looking build! Seems like there's quite a bit of latency. Could different motors or controller/software reduce the lag?

[@departedreality]

I think the biggest contributor to latency is the filtering/smoothing that's done in FlyPT that is customizable. The Thanos controller and AC servos are extremely fast and probably couldn't be made faster unless it was a FPGA. Traditionally in simulation, the recommendation is to keep under 100ms latency, which the system is capable of

[@josephlarsen]

how heavy can the rider be in this setup? Have you guys tested that out?

[@void1968able]

Usually they stem 150-200kg payload.

[@KieranRamnarine086]

How much power does this pull??

[@void1968able]

Usually the are just around 120-200W in total.
