Default Re: Custom Bruder Dumper Build

So, the Servo will drive the ACME threaded rod, and in turn the nut will move along the shaft. The nut will be tied to the lower mount (1/4" aluminum bar you see opposite where the cylinder mounts) and as the nut moves along so will the bed Dump or lower. I know the speed with the current servo I have in it will be very slow, but if needed I can change out the servo easily in the future. I also am going to be using a Brass round Nut on the ACME rod instead of the standard ACME nut, as that will allow me the wear point instead of the shaft.
