Hiya. I was just wondering if anyone had a set of the models dones in a format that can be read by a free program such as Milkshape 3d, as this program supports a lot of file formats. Please PM me if this is possible or send me an email at [email protected].
Thanx
Which file formats can your program read? We have models available in several different formats here:
lynxmotion.com/ViewPage.aspx?ContentCode=sesmodel
Let me know, and if we don’t have files in a format you can use, hopefully someone can convert them for you.
Thanx for the rapid reply, I have just discovered Wings3d by reading the whole of this thread. This program can read .3ds files and .obj files, however looking at your model collection there are only models of the ASB’s in this format.
I would like to point out that wings3d is a free program so anyone who is interested in using thes models should try it.
Thanx
I’ve updated the SES Model database. You can check it out here:

hi there…i wonder if anyone can make a CATIA model for the following servos:
1)HS-81
2)HS-311
3)HS-475HB
4)HS-755HB
5)HS-805BB
your help will very much be appreciated 
Does anyone know where to get a servo that fits the SES brackets?
I’m struggling with the one on the website… I don’t know how to fit it in properly.
On the product pages, if the servo says “SES yes” then it will fit the multi-purpose and other SES brackets just fine. There are two tabs on the bracket, with two holes each - the tabs on the servo fits onto this and the snap rivets or mounting screws go through the holes.
It’s much the same with the 3D CAD models. Align the holes of the tabs on each side of the servo with the holes on the bracket. Then select the surfaces the holes are on and mate those.

Hey guys…
I posted a while back about the ASB-04 being redone with rounded corners.
lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?p=17320#17320
Curious, did this change make it into the 3D files?
Thanks 8-Dale,
I’m still running into problems because the holes don’t match up to mount the servos in solidworks. So if I just mate the surfaces, it can still move around.
Any thoughts?
Are you using Alibre or Solidworks? You may also not be using the correct servo model parts. The servo model I use aligns perfectly with the brackets.
Mating just the surfaces will not lock the parts to each other. You have to align holes as well in order for everything to lock in.

I’m using Solidworks.
I got the servo model off the Lynxmotion website. But the holes don’t align.
When I try to mate the holes, it says that it’s over-defined, and can’t do it.
Where did you get your servo from?
There is a problem with some of the Solidworks models. On some, like the servo, not all the holes will line up. I fixed this problem, but had to create a brand new servo model to do it. If you download the STEP214 version, you should get my model and then you should be able to import it.
There was a similar problem with the AHC-03 model, and I corrected it the same way - created a new model.

I’m actually using Solidworks 2004. I imported the STEP files and saved them as Solidworks part files.
The servo holes are not far enought apart, and I think they are a different size, as they can’t be properly mated.
You definitely are not using the correct servo model then because the model I created aligns all four holes perfectly with the asb-04 multi-purpose bracket.
I will have to check what is on the website and if it is not right will send Beth a new copy of my servo model to replace it with.

im using alibre express, my servo doesnt line up nicely either. ill select 1 servo hole’s edge and align it to the m/p bracket’s hole edge, but then the other flanges holes will be a few millimeters offset.
maybe im not snapping it properly but it never lines up correctly.
My problem is that if I line up one hole, I can’t do the rest, so the srvo swings all over the place whenever I try to move anything.
Still haven’t found a solution 
I believe I have the solution to these servo model woes.
I just sent Beth some updated files for the IGES, STEP 214, and Alibre formats of the 3D servo model which should correct any problems you and others have been having with holes not aligning to brackets, especially the asb-04 multi-purpose bracket.
It’s possible that I got the wrong files into the last archives I sent to Beth, and these updates should correct any errors.
8-Dale
I’ve uploaded the corrected IGES, Step 214, and Alibre format servo models. Keep in mind that the Solidworks model is still possibly incorrect. If someone can convert one of the corrected models into Solidworks format, please let me know so that we can finally get this problem fixed.
Linuxguy, thanks, I was having problems getting them to align correctly. I thought I was doing something wrong.
I think you were doing things right. The problems you were having were with the model, which is exactly why I created the new model. I wanted to fix the problems there were, which also caused problems for movable joints.
