Hey everyone, has anyone here messed around with micro linear actuators in their own custom mechanical builds? Like, I'm tinkering with this little robotic arm thing for fun in my garage, nothing fancy, just trying to get smooth precise movements without everything being bulky. Last weekend I slapped one onto a small prototype to lift a tiny platform, but the thing kept binding up when I tried adapting it to a weird angle mount I 3D printed. Wondering what folks do to tweak them for hobby-level stuff—maybe better brackets, different control setups, or ways to handle the super short strokes without losing accuracy? Feels like there's always some small adaptation needed to make them actually work in real homemade projects. Anyone run into similar headaches or found clever fixes? (around 170 chars here, but yeah, genuinely curious since my setup's kinda stalling now.)
My craft store customers often buy long brushes and canvases that just do not fit in standard retail bags. I finally ordered these 17 inch tall kraft bags from https://mcdonaldpaper.com/safepro-sb20-kraft-paper-10-24-oz-hot-cup-jacket-sleeves-1000-cs/ the feedback has been amazing. They are thick enough to protect delicate items and the flat handles make them easy to carry. Getting 250 bags in a single case helps me keep my overhead low.
