Hole for the pan servo to hold the structure on top. |
I didn't want to cut a huge hole for the big servo, nor have the mechanism mounted high. But the servo's mounting holes were too low. So I built up the rest of the space with polymorph. This stuff is awesome! You grab some of the pellets, throw them in hot water, when they turn transparent they are ready. Fish them out with a spoon and mould it as you like. It cools back to solid white and is a relatively hard plastic. If you mess up or want to change it, and chuck it back in hot water to soften it and you can use it again! If it's stuck to something that might be damaged by hot water, either cut it off or maybe you could use steam.
Polymorph to build up some space, with screw thread |
I screwed screws into it while it was still somewhat soft, to give it a thread. I am able to screw and unscrew it quite securely :) It wasn't quite flat on top, but you can file or cut it down and even retain the leftovers!
I stuck the first one together with blutack and polymorph.
Rear and batteries. |
