Lasercut Cardboard Gimbal by wizard23 Sep 20, 2009

Description

These were my design goals:

- Built entirely out of cardboard
- Does not need any glue (all the connectors snap into place)
- still mechanically stable

This is the 5th iteration of the design and finally it meets all these goals:)

Juat the perfect think to build. I will take the pattern and make it out of 1/4 plywood. Have you thought about how to mount the servo drives? I am thinking of a pully and motor. maybe a gear on one of each axis pair. will see where the interference points are on the servo/carrier rings and yoke. Damn good job.

Instructions

Lasercut the pdf file two times out of 1.5mm cardboard and assemble like in the pictures.

If you want to modify the design: The first dxf file contains the design with all help lines and measurements. The second dxf does not contain the help lines anymore. This I used to arrange the pdf.
