RC Tank Turret Platform with Servo Drive

thingiverse

This is a turret platform for the RC Tank by Staind. It replaces the top bar of the cover, also by Staind, providing a rotating platform where anything can be mounted that requires rotation. A micro servo from Amazon controls the rotation, offering 360-degree movement if the servo provides 180 degrees. While these servos only give around 100 degrees, other models may offer better performance. The platform features four embedded M4 nuts with a 20mm x 40mm on-center screw pattern, allowing users to add various components that attach to the screws. I plan to install an FPV camera on the platform. Two 604 bearings and a 30mm M4 screw with lock nut were used to mount the platform. The turret was printed using PLA with no support and 30% infill, requiring some hole cleaning afterwards. A camera mount for this style of turret is in development, designed to fit cameras like the one mentioned on Amazon. The design's appearance is still unclear.
