Re: Scaling lift mechanism assistance needed

We are using a cascading telescoping design using heavy duty full extension drawer slides. We would like to keep the drive weight under 5 lbs with the gearbox and motor. Size and cost are very flexible for us.

Our main concern is making sure we route the wires correctly to telescope the lift and that the pulley setup we use has a low level of slippage with the wire. I have seen videos of previous designs that worked, but I want our iteration of the concept to work as well.
