SSS - Servo Suspension System

This is my first experiment with the MakerBot. I am totally thrilled with this machine!!!

SSS (servo suspension system) is designed to support standard servo motors and act as a basic suspension. It is still a work in progress and has not been tested yet.

Will update results as soon as possible (still waiting to have my lab back).


I would like to know everyone's opinion on this :)

Interesting looking part!

Looks like this part would be great for all sorts of things. It looks like you would get a bit of suspension - how much does the plastic flex? I like how in your bottom image you get a lot more clearance. This has problem I’ve seen a couple times on small robots - this part looks like it would help!

I am so jealous - I WANT a MakerBot too!

Quick question: how long does it take to print this part?

Anyway, looks like a nice design. Scalable too - looks like it would be easy to scale for microservos as well as larger ones.
