Servo Mount

When having to place servo's in your rc plane/boat/vehicle or robotics project, often we're missing a mount.

And since we don't want to end up cutting servo holes in our frame, but rather add the servo to the frame via a mount, I have created a servo mount for both the 40mm x 20mm standard servo and the smaller 12mm x 23mm servo.

• 3mm wood or plastic
• laser cutter
• CA glue ( medium thickness )
• sanding paper / wood file

I have used a laser cutter to cut out my material ( 3 mm MDF plate ).

When using the svg file you get material for:

• 8 pieces 40mm x 20mm size servo mounts
• 8 pieces 23mm x 12mm size servo mounts

The sheet I based the design on: 600mm x 300mm, 3mm MDF.

Since the cutting is done quite exactly with a laser cutter, you will probably need to sand the tray to make the servo fit.

Now that the servo can fit, we remove it and we glue the parts together. I use CA glue for this.

Simply add CA glue to the joints and then push it back together.

I put a syringe needle on my bottle of CA glue for more precise working.

Once the glue has cured, you can add some extra CA glue in the corners.

Now simply add your servo and you're done.

You can now also cut off the pieces of wood that are sticking out. I designed it with some extra material sticking out, since cutting off the extra material is easier then adding material afterwards ;)
