[QUOTE="Mar, post: 1210491, member: 160840"] Hey ieb! Yes this was the best diy solution I could find to using a standard (i.e cheaper) linear actuator. hahah yes thats exactly what I'm talking about. After a couple days of searching the dark corners of the internet trying to find this "extending aluminum profile" I spent some time looking at your pictures for clues of where to look. Then it finally hit me, along with reading you initial post a few times that you pieced it together. After i realized that i was really impressed and SO relieved that its possible to put this together with a few diy parts. I managed to find an appropriate aluminum channel on ebay that delivers locally, but as far as the drawer slides did you use anything special? or just a standard set of ball bearing slides that extend (at least) the stroke of the actuator? Also in regards to the drawer slides, If my stroke is 550mm (total extended length 1205mm) will i be ok just getting slides that are around 5-600mm in length? Im having a hard time with the slides because my local sites dont show the extended length of the slide - im hoping its just double if they are fully extending. Thank you so much for responding after all this time. [/QUOTE]
