Tricopter: center twist style (with solidworks source)

cults3d

We've all been there - designing a tricopter, meticulously engineering a way to mount that rear servo for precise yaw control, only to realize the heavy cantilevered servo and mount make balancing a chore. I know this feeling firsthand. Take a look at my other projects if you're curious about the source of my frustration. What I'm about to share with you is a game-changer - a 3D-printed tricopter design that cleverly moves the servo to its center, effectively rotating the entire rear motor beam in the process. The beauty of this design lies in its simplicity: it's a breeze to print, motor installation is a snap, and takeoff is effortless. No more struggling with balance issues or complicated assembly procedures. I've also shared the SolidWorks source files for those who need to tweak them to fit their specific servos or beams - a thoughtful touch that shows you care about your users' needs.
