3D printed linear actuator
#3

Most parts on my boat are printed in black PETG with a solid infill. In my experience this material with these parameters is strong enough for most applications and uv resistant.

In a actuator I think in would use a leadscrew possible with a stainless steel or brass nut. The 3dprinted parts will mostly consist out of a enclosure, seating the bearings and some sort of mount for some sort of motor.

Has anyone build an pypilot with a steppermotor and for instance a DRV8825 driver and adapted the motor.ino file for it?
