Servo Holders for cardboard creations by LindseyOwn

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Use these holders to easily place servos onto robotic dioramas or other displays made of cardboard. The rivet parts come from user hooligan404's cardboard rivets, which we use a ton in our K-8 makerspace!
Servos can either be held horizontally such that an extender like a popsicle stick could stick into your diorama and move a character from side to side, or held vertically such that you could pull a string on a pulley or move a character up and down. The holders can be placed on the sides, back, top, or bottom of a box and hold the servo steadily in place! See the short video for examples by 2nd graders.
The larger holders are sized to hold servos like the Hitec HS-311 (https://www.amazon.com/Hitec-31311S-HS-311-Standard-Universal/dp/B0006O3WVE) and the smaller ones sized to hold 9g micro servos like the Tower Pro SG90 (https://www.amazon.com/J-Deal-Micro-Helicopter-Airplane-Controls/dp/B015H5AVZG/).
We've used with our Hummingbird robotics kits (https://hummingbirdkit.com/), as well as with cheap, simple ATTiny-driven robots (https://twitter.com/HuffmanJeannine/status/696132761329926144).
