Description

This is a lightweight servo mount for 5 gram servos.  I designed it specifically to fit EMAX ES9052MD, but I can confirm it fits Flite Test PP A 5g servos just as well and probably most other 5g servos.

Printing:
  • 0.2mm layer height or smaller
  • no supports
  • pla or petg works well, so would most other non-flexible materials
Why:

I build and fly small foamboard RC planes, but dislike gluing servos directly to my planes like most people seem to do, as if they strip out (plastic gear servos always eventually do for me), you usually ruin the foam replacing them.  This mount has holes for lightness and extra surface area for hot glue to grab.  I get much more secure mounting this way than I would roughing up the surface of the servo and gluing it directly, and the servo is quick to replace. They work very well in either laying on the side or upright orientation.  There is plenty of room for the wire on either side, so it doesn't matter which direction you need to mount the servo.
