Re: Plus Five
The metal by itself is too flimsy, so it needed a frame.
It was too heavy, with just the sheet metal and grill, for easy
lifting so it would also need to be powered. I searched the web
and found a nice overpowered 12 volt linear actuator that came
in various stroke lengths that could easily lift it.
I built the tilt frame around the actuator's dimensions.
It has it's own sub-frame and has shims in 1/16th inch increments
for final assembly alignment.
