Bowden Cable Servo Control for Robotics

thingiverse

This is an enclosure designed specifically for standard size servos to manage cables in animatronics and robotics projects. I'm utilizing a 4mm PTFE tube, commonly used in bowden setups on 3D printers, paired with a brake cable from bicycles, securely attached to the servo wheel using a component sourced from an RC shop. To keep the lid firmly in place around the tube, an M3 machine screw, a washer, and an M3 nut are employed. Printing this enclosure "the right way up" with supports appears to yield the best results. Future improvements might include designing a wheel for the servo that can more effectively pull the wire around. This project marks my very first original design in Fusion 360, so any feedback is highly appreciated.
