I assemble the turntable but when it comes to mounting the actual rotating part to the servo motor, the rotating mechanism can’t be mounted on to the servo because the standoffs are too long for the screws to reach the servo.
What shall I do about this. I think I received standoffs that are a bit too long. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
you could cut them??? 
Is it normal for the parts in this kit to be cut to fit?
No, I dont think so. where do the standoffs go? on the top or the botton of the servo? you dont have any other satndoffs that came with the kit or maybe you used the wrong one’s that do the circle arond the servo for suport?
It isn’t normal at all, but I just mentioned. Maybe the wrong parts were sent to you or you used those parts somewhere else on your robot. But as I said…you could cut them. 
I consider the suggestion to cut the parts some what misguided prior to checking to see if the correct parts were not included in the kit. A better approach would be to report the length of the part being tried and compare that to the length of the correct part. There also could be other simple misalignments causing the problem. More trouble shooting should be done before starting to cutting parts.
OK, OK. So when things don’t fit, I make them fit. (trust me, Im not good with puzzles). This is probably why everything I touch breaks.
I have received, and responded to your email. I suspect an error has been made during the assembly. Can you provide a jpg image of the base without the rotation platform on it?
My digital camera is broken…but the picture is IDENTICAL to the picture in step 6 of the base assembly…i mean its 100% IDENTICAL but doesn’t fit…i think i might just use longer self tapping screws to screw the base to the rotational part.
Can you measure the standoff? Do they measure 3/8" or 0.375"?
Another way the standoffs could apear too long is if the servo is too low in the assembly. This could happen if the push in fasteners were not installed correctly. Some people have taken them apart, pushed in the outer part, installed the servo, and then push in the middle part. This would make the servo lower in the assembly. The proper way to install them is to put the servo into the panel, and simply push the fasteners in from the top.
I also need to ask if the standoffs were attched where the phillips screw heads are what the top panel rides on, or if it is riding on the acorn nuts. If it’s riding on the acorn nuts then they were installed wrong.
Hey, I’m really trying here. There are hundreds of these robot arms out there with this base assembly. I have receive no other reports of this problem. I am at a loss as to what to tell you to try next.
