VTOL motor tilt mechanism

thingiverse

This is a simple tilt mechanism that i designed for a VTOL aircraft that I am building. This design uses a standard 40g servo. I used the HXT5010. additionally it uses a 685 bearing. I know most here would consider it a non-standard bearing. But that is the one used as the main shaft bearing for a 450 size helicopter and I had quite a few spare. Please feel free to customize or better even, draw the parts in OpenScad. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa i3 rework Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20% Notes: rotate the motor mount file(Motor.STL) by 180degrees before slicing. The bearing center is designed like a keyed shaft so that it can be printed vertically. This makes the part, lot stronger. I have found this method to generate a lot stronger shaft parts. The key idea is to print the length of the shaft in every layer. Flattening it out on one edge helps in printing with out support. Custom Section
