3D printed linear actuator
#1
Hey there! 

I am willing to build an pypilot for my 23 foot sailboat. It must be said that I am not planning on overnight passages and that this system will mostly used in the Netherlands while sailing in fresh water. 

Therefore reliability and corrosion resistance is a little less of a problem for me than for most of you guys. 

I've seen Sean writing about a 3dprinted actuator and I am really curious if this idea has ever been worked out. I would love to build one or start designing one. Can anyone tell me if this has already been done or if there has been some progress? 

As a mechanical engineer and a 3D printing enthousiast I absolutely do not mind contributing to this amazing pypilot project so if there are any designs out there that need further development I would love to hear about them.
