C1-10P Periscope Lifter

thingiverse

This is a persicope assembly and lift mechanism for C1-10P (Chopper) droids from Star Wars. Just like the Head Arm Mechanism design, it is intended to be simple to print and activate with a remote switch to add a periscope to lift up and down in Choppers dome. Credit to TinyP for the dome design and the periscope top is his design but joined and modified for one print. If the periscope shaft doesn't print vertically successfully then lay it down or substitute for timber or aluminium tube. The limit switches are designed to allow adjustment on the retract especially to stop the periscope top level with the dome, I plan on adding magnets to the periscope top cover to periscope parts, leaving it removable. My Chopper dome top cover is removable as well.
