    Hi, I’m new to the world of robotics. I would need to build a leveling surface, something like this:

    That can support and move an object placed on it that weighs approximately 15kg.
    From an electronic point of view I don’t have many problems, I’m quite an expert in electronics and I know exactly what to do. My problem is in the mechanics. While it doesn’t look particularly complex, there are lots of little bits and pieces, rods, bolts, screws, …
    All things that I have no idea where you can buy them and how to choose them. I tried looking around the internet, but it’s more complex than it seems.

    Can anyone help me choose the components I need and maybe even know where to buy them at a good price.

    Or (which would be the ideal solution) can you tell me if something like this already exists, already made and which can support the weight I need?

    Thanks in advance.

    any local hardware store or Amazon etc will have tie rod ends and ball joints. 15kg is not much so threaded rods 8mm or so will be plenty since all forces are in compression.

    1) read pinned topic: READ FIRST...

    2) if you have an issue with robot, post question in the correct forum section... do NOT contact me directly

    3) read 1 and 2
