Tricopter tilt mechanism

thingiverse

Here is what you need: A 15mm square boom linkage-free that I designed. It protects motor shaft and bearing. Full 180 degrees range - no binding. The screw won't fall out. There's space for a zip tie to secure an esc. Grips hold zipties that secure servo. The design has evolved over time: 07/23/2015 - The motor mount is now lower-profile, reducing vulnerability. Instructions: What you'll need: * M3 screws and nuts: tilt, locknut preferred * 2x M3 screws and nuts to attach the base to the arm * A big servo arm with one side removed * A cutter and grease for smooth parts * A drillbit to clean up holes To get flying: Print without support in ABS, layer height set to 0.2mm: Drill out M3 tilt hole Smoothen both parts for a snug fit Attach the screw as shown in the image Add servo with arm; use CA glue on the bottom Secure it tightly. The servo arm should have some play, otherwise, it'll stress. Ziptie servo in place You're good to go
