servo question...

Hi Matt, just finished the CNC'ing of my hexapod chassis, about to try assembling some of the parts and i was wondering how you managed to get the servos to mount into the aluminium instead of using a servo horn...its not a major thing for me but it will save a fair bit of space and allow for a much slimmer profile. The guy in the engineering deptartment at my uni who makes all the stuff in the workshop didnt think it was possible.

Cheers, Alex.

Re: servo question...

Hi Alex... anything is possible, given enough time and money!! accept maybe time travel... ;)

When I was working on the Harry Potter movies we had special servo spline punches custom made to match Futaba, Hitech and other splines. The splines are then pressed into a tight fit hole in the aluminium parts.
