DIY LINEAR ACTUATOR | 3D PRINTING & ARDUINO

Linear actuators are an interesting and really useful mechanisms that you can implement in many projects. That is why I decided to make one myself.

For this projects, I use the following tools:

• Solidworks -> Design of every component
• 3D Printer -> Ender 5 S1 with PLA
• Arduino -> To put everything toegther
  • 1 Servomotor: DM996, 15 Kg.

The cool thing about Arduino is that you can start your project very simply and start adding other features as you go.

For instance, add a sensor that turns on the linear actuator while it is sensing. Or control the servomotor with an app on your phone… The options are unlimited!
