Since I am trying to update this semi-regularly, here is a post for this month!

Been quite busy recently so proper building for the Super Actuator only began about 2 weeks ago. I have tweaked the cad a little, but it's slowly becoming a real thing:

At this point I have cut everything I can with my tools, except some thin teflon which I will use to reduce friction between the rod and barrel. Next up is the tricky part - drilling the holes so the gears mesh properly and so that this will fit together. Then I will mail it down to a friend who has kindly offered to help with milling/lathing.

Still a bit cautious that this thing won't work and could break itself, but so far all is going to plan!
