RC Servo Mount, Box & Cover

thingiverse

This is a versatile mounting system used in conjunction with nine gram-sized servos. When working with large foam aircraft, the box is securely fastened into place using four 3mm screws, and the servo mount is attached to it. A thin layer of foam is inserted between the servo and the box to ensure the servo remains firmly in position. For smaller foam-based models, hot glue is employed to attach the servo to the mount plate, followed by attaching the plate to the foam. This approach allows for a secure bond between the components. In contrast, when working with balsa planes, hot glue is used to attach the servo to the mount plate, and then the plate is screwed into place on the plane's surface. The cover can be utilized across all configurations without any issues. To achieve optimal results during printing, it is recommended to use 100% infill density, three perimeters, three top and bottom layers, and supports (or no supports at all for just the mount plates). These settings have proven effective on my Prusa I3 with a 0.35mm tip using PLA or ABS filament. For users who need to make modifications, the original 123D Design files are included for reference and use.
