Tricopter Tilt Mechanism

thingiverse

I created my own tilt mechanism for a brushless motor 2212, inspired by the "impossible tilt mechanism" on Thingiverse. The servo mount and bearing mount are attached to a 12 mm carbon fiber tube. A small ball bearing (3mm inside diameter, 6mm outside diameter) fits snugly into the bearing holder, while a short 3mm axis is pressed firmly into the motor pod. I used a Robbe FS 166 digital servo with metal gear and ball bearings, measuring 23x9x24mm in size. Please note that my photos show the first prototype, which underwent some minor changes before being uploaded to this platform. Initially, I planned to align both mounts with two 3 mm carbon fiber rods, but it wasn't necessary in the end. Additionally, I removed the upper retaining bracket from the servo and had to attach the lower bracket to the tube. The servo can be secured using a cable tie, although I haven't done so yet. The servo mount also features a small cable channel for convenient routing of cables.
