This linear actuator is almost completely 3D printed (except for the thread and some bolts, nuts and bearings). It currently doesn't have any position feedback or limited switches installed on it. It has a speed of about 25 mm/s on a 9V battery and draws about 1.7 Amps of current. The motor is rated for 36 Volts. Running the linear actuator on a 36 Volt battery will increase the speed of the actuator.
The transmission is a belt driven one which uses a GT2 timing belt and a 3D printed GT2 pulley. The linear actuator uses an M8 thread to convert the rotating motion into a linear motion.
All parts (except for the 120 teeth pulley) are printed with a 1 mm nozzle because there is no high accuracy required and it goes a lot faster.

Commercial License (Optional Purchase)
Want to sell physical 3D prints of this design? You can purchase the Commercial License as an optional upgrade.
The Commercial License includes the STL files required to 3D print the model and grants you the right to produce and sell an unlimited number of physical copies of the purchased design.
What is allowed:
- Unlimited production and sale of physical 3D prints.
- Selling through online marketplaces, webshops, and physical stores.
- Modifying or resizing the model for physical production.
- Lifetime commercial use with no recurring fees or royalties.
What is NOT allowed:
- Selling, sharing, or redistributing the digital design files (STL, STEP, 3MF, etc.).
- Distributing modified or remixed versions of the digital files.
- Uploading the files to file-sharing platforms or 3D model marketplaces.
- Using this license for other BBprojects designs.
Important: The Commercial License is not included with the standard Personal Use License and must be purchased separately. Only physical 3D-printed products may be sold. Redistribution of digital files is strictly prohibited, even if they have been modified.
By purchasing the Commercial License, you agree to the full BBprojects Commercial License terms included with your download.
