Tricopter Motor Tilt

thingiverse

This is my version of a tricopter tilt mechanism. It is build around a Turnigy TGY-210DMH, any servo of the same size will fit. The servo is lifted 5mm above ground, so you don't need to cut some parts of the servo. You need 4 small zip-ties to fix the bottom-part to the arm and a bigger one for the servo. The small bottom-part is strong enough to hold the motor, the servo-holder will only work against the torque of the steering. The updated servo-holder now has holes for smaller zip-ties. There is only one updated universal motor-holder, wich fits to all variants. Use a M3-30mm for the axe, a 30mm screw will exact match with the updated design. it is a bit asymetrical to leave a bit more room for the servo. Be sure the servo is in middle-position and pull the servo in position by tightening the screw. Don't pull it to tight, use blue loctite only on the servo-side. This tilt is inspired by David Windestals tilt from rcexplorer.se, but as I didn't have a M3-40mm, so it came to my own version. The updated Version now works with 10 mm, 12.5 mm or 14 mm arms. Update Sept. 2016: There is a new motor-holder that is used with a servo-arm. You need an single-side arm with two holes on 10mm and 15mm. The servo arm is fixed with two small screws (10mm long), wich come with your servo. I did another Version with splined servo-mount, but my printer isn't able to print this in a usable way. So use the version with called '...servohorn' when the universal_tilt_motor without splines doesn't work for you. Does it work for you?

Its slightly asymetrical to add some space between motor and servo. Renamed the 10mm-parts.
