Tricopter tilt mechanism

thingiverse

Having found nothing that fits a 15mm square boom - linkage free - , I designed one. Here it is. Protects motor shaft and bearing Full 180 degres range, servo is never going to bind The screw can't fall out Enough space on the side to ziptie the esc. Grip for the zipties that hold the servo Solidworks files included. Changelog 07/23/2015 - The motor mount now has a lower profile. That was a weakpoint. Instructions What you will need : M3 screw and nut for tilt, locknut preferred 2x M3 screw and nut to attach the base to the arm. A big servo arm, with one side removed Cutter and grease to smooth things out. Drillbit to cleanup holes. Printed fast (75mm/s) in ABS, 0.2mm layer height. How to : Print without support. As they are. Drill out the M3 holes for the tilt itself Smooth out the 2 parts so they just fit (Important, otherwise you will have a a lot of slop on your tilt.) Add the M3 screw, as shown on the picture. Add the servo with the arm, You should secure it with a little bit of CA glue on the bottom. If the servo arm don't fit, use a 2mm drillbit.The servo arm should be able to move a little, otherwise the servo will be stressed Ziptie the servo. Fly
