RCExplorer V3 -13mm tilt servo adapter

thingiverse

The original text will now allow the use of 13mm thick servos with David's ingenious tilt mechanism. I recently completed my V3 build using various bits and bobs I gathered, but unfortunately, I got the wrong servo altogether. The casing of my new servo measures a significant 13 mm in thickness instead of the standard 11 mm, which was meant to be accommodated by the existing spacer. Instead of waiting for the correct servo to arrive through ordering, shipping, or other means, I opted to quickly design and create an alternative part using Tinkercad to adapt my boom with this thicker servo. I also had to carefully file down a mounting tab as it seemed like it could potentially interfere with the movement of my boom. Upon further inspection, I found that my servo also exceeded the standard length, so I resolved this by inserting a 1 mm spacer underneath the pivot mount. Those details should become apparent once everything is secured in place using zip ties. For completeness, let's refer to this as an adapted solution since it was based on someone else's idea, with my primary role being its modification. --- Instructions Locate a single STL formatted part and a four-up printing plate for optimal results. When working on small parts, I find that slowing down the print speed helps improve quality, particularly when they are spread out to slow down the printer's speed between each component. Incidentally, I recently purchased this kit from RCExplorer, whose printed parts I am truly impressed by; their exceptional quality raises the bar significantly.
