Skewer Pushrod Fitting V2
thingiverse
###################### NEW Version 2 ###################### 1. Fittings are reduced by 50% making them smaller, reducing fillement used, and improving the overall look of the push rods. 2. The sections of 16 gauge wire used for the connection to control arms and horns have been significantly reduced. 3. No more Z bends. The adapter now has a built-in keaper arm that allows the use of a simple 90-degree bend in the wire, making installation and removal easier. ########################################################### Parts [Makes 1 push rod]: A. 2 skewer pushrod fittings. B. One bamboo skewer around 3.1mm - 3.2mm diameter. C. About 60mm of 16 gauge wire. D. Glue. Use CA glue, specifically Gorrilla super glue, which I have had excellent results with on PLA. Note: Some other name brands may cause issues during testing. To assemble: 1. Bend about 3mm at the end of the wire 90 degrees to create a clean connection. 2. Cut the wire exactly 25mm back from the L bend to ensure a secure fit. 3. Insert the first L wire into the smaller opening on the fitting, and the blunt end of the skewer into the larger opening. 4. If they fit well, reinstall with a small drop of glue on each part. 5. Connect the first end to your servo and mark the skewer where the control arm hole is. 6. Cut the skewer exactly 25mm back from the mark. 7. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the second end. It's really simple, I just over-explained the steps a bit. Comment if you test this, and let me know how it turned out for you. Note: I design my models knowing the limitations of my old 3D printer, which has a few minor quirks. In general, it's accurate but holes tend to print smaller than they are sized in the model. As such, I design holes slightly larger to accommodate this. Test print any part and make sure attached hardware like wire or skewers fit properly before bulk printing.
