I have been working on the details for the table lift, I cam eu with a home built linear drive. It will be controlled by an Arduino UNO.

Thanks for sharing. It looks as if in the real world you have too much torque on the belt, the pulleys are not very well aligned. You may consider another pair of bearings in the plate below, visible in the FreeCAD model.
