Assembling the 3-axis plate continued.

The tilt servo must be mounted "below board" meaning the servo tabs must be mounted under the plate. Unfortunately, there are plastic ridges on the servo that must be removed first or the servo won't sit flush against the plate.


A rasp makes quick work of this.


Ridge removed.


Do the same on the other side.


Both ridges removed flush on both sides.


Servo should sit flush on the plate now without wobbling.


Screw it down to the plate from the back.


Notice the levels of the servos. This is important as the linkages are at different levels as well as we'll see later.


Also note the orientation of the servos. The servo hubs need to face the correct way.


Install the rodend on the axis bracket, making sure the ball is centered to the hole in the plate.


Mount it on the hole closest to the plate...


..making sure the head is parallel to the plate.
