Galaxy Nexus Pan and Tilt Platform

I appreciated the design of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:100241, but I preferred using the Galaxy Nexus as a camera. Thus, I created this platform to complement it. The servos utilized are TowerPro MG90S (base) and Futaba S3004. In Update #1, I rectified the faulty geometry on the lift_arm, which caused an odd diagonal. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Install the MG90S servo in the base, threading the leads through the gaps. 2. Attach the middle_tier to the base servo using a lateral horn. 3. Put the servo into the middle_tier; I used a round horn for this purpose. 4. Fasten the lift arm, which is snug but can be fitted over the pin and over the servo by spreading the arms of the lift_arm. Note: Holes were drilled after matching up the middle tier servo. The base doesn't have pre-drilled holes, but it needs to be mounted for stability when holding a real Galaxy Nexus. Most pieces can be assembled using self-threading screws.
