Designing Servo Mounts for Manufacturablity


Milling pockets for servo mounts seems like a good idea in Creo, where everything is a right angle.

But let’s see what happens when one tries to mill this pocket with an endmill long enough to get to the bottom of the pocket.

I have a funny feeling that the servo won’t fit this pocket in real life. Should we delete this file and restart? No, let’s think for a moment. We need only support the 4 screw mounts for the servo, the side walls can go.
