A large elasticated band supports the weight of the user, and platform, and the linear actuator lifts and lowers them. Fast, responsive and most importantly : cheap! Seems pretty crazy that you can spend $4k on an actuator for every motion range except heave!

]]> Animated Chain http://feelthree.com/2014/11/animated-chain/ Thu, 27 Nov 2014 20:16:27 +0000 http://www.feelthree.com/?p=1911 In order to make a really compelling demonstration video we need to show the chains moving the sphere but despite watching several videos this has eluded me. So I sat down, broke it down to just what I need to figure out and made this:

So near!! It messes up about halfway through but I’m quite happy since this is progress… greyscale, basic as hell progress but I’ll take that! 🙂

This reduces part numbers since we can just use the same bits. Standard configuration would come as a 4 part X as shown below but users could also conceivably have 6 or even 8 configurations.

This version is just a couple of aluminium extrusions strengthening two boards of laminated wood, obviously it’s missing some lateral support. If I could also somehow lose the round ‘safety skirt’ or make it optional that would also be nice…

Obviously it’s not as good as actually building something but it’s pretty useful for figuring stuff out.

It’s not easy to find reliable source of information on the specs of wiper motors, but there quite a few people out there using them so I’ll keep googling.

This video is quite interesting.

Cushions on the inside will enable you to sneak the Feel Three past your wife since she thinks you’ve bought a new cool armchair.

What can go wrong? :p

]]> New Panels http://feelthree.com/2014/08/new-panels/ Sat, 02 Aug 2014 11:35:43 +0000 http://www.feelthree.com/?p=507 After much head scratching and messing around I copied the original plate dimensions into a 3D sketch and then sculpted a new panel from that, joined the two parts together, lined up the holes and did a quick render. Makes it sound easy eh?? :p

Well the previous panel was a total hack so this one appear much simpler and I’m hoping will allow me to build a proper sphere…

I’m just not looking forward to building again… but if I don’t, who will?? 🙂

Rerendering at 48fps for the lulz, but at least the transparency looks quite good.
