Servo Holders for cardboard creations

thingiverse

We use these handy holders to quickly attach servos to cardboard displays or robotic dioramas. The rivet parts come from user hooligan404's cardboard rivets, which we use a lot in our K-8 makerspace. Servos can either be held flat so that an extender like a popsicle stick can slide into your display and move a character back and forth or held upright so that you can pull a string on a pulley or lift a character up and down. The holders can be placed on the sides, back, top, or bottom of a box and hold the servo firmly in place! Watch our short video for examples made by 2nd graders. The larger holders are sized to fit servos like the Hitec HS-311 (https://www.amazon.com/Hitec-31311S-HS-311-Standard-Universal/dp/B0006O3WVE) and the smaller ones fit 9g micro servos like the Tower Pro SG90 (https://www.amazon.com/J-Deal-Micro-Helicopter-Airplane-Controls/dp/B015H5AVZG/). We have used them with our Hummingbird robotics kits (https://hummingbirdkit.com/) and also with cheap, simple ATTiny-driven robots (https://twitter.com/HuffmanJeannine/status/696132761329926144).
