Mini Servo Mounts
by Anomalous, published
Description
The models were made in SketchUp. The parts in the SketchUp file are all scaled by a factor of 1000 (meters instead of mm), because SketchUp gets weird with small dimensions.
I've included a rough model of the servo motor used, which can be used to design other parts that attach to the motor. The mini servos I used are less than $4 each from DealExtreme: dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20023

Thanks for letting me know that the file is broken. It did slice correctly in whatever program I was using 2.5 years ago (may have been Skeinforge?), but perhaps that was more tolerant of bad files than other slicers.
I don't have the software installed to try to fix this right now, but the original SketchUp file is available here if you want to try exporting that part yourself.
The mount 2 stl file isn't manifold. It appears to me missing a facet. This prevents it from being sliced (by Slic3r 0.7.0, and probably others too).
I'm not sure what vise you mean. All of the servos are screwed together.
That said, this is certainly not a thing made for long term use! The first part to fail here would be the electrical tape holding the base motor down. I didn't think about what I was going to attach the entire arm to when I designed and printed out the individual segments.
I plan to eventually create a much sturdier version of something similar to this. This particular layout was meant to resemble a single leg of a hexapod robot, but it certainly too weak to be used as such.

Nice work!
Doesn't the vise come loose after a while?
