MODELING SPHERES

SERVO MODELING SPHERES

These “modeling spheres” are designed to be simple design primitives that can be easily configured for easy prototyping with servos. Rather than beginning the design process with the hardware – in this case DXW90 MicroServo – modeling spheres allow makers and designers to begin by thinking about the kind of rotational motion they want to explore in their project. These elements can be easily combined in CAD to create more complicated forms, including XYZ axis robotic arms and mechanical locomotion. They are designed to be “print and play”. The servo arms simply slide and lock into place, with no additional hardware or glue (although it is recommended to trim the servo arm as shown in the picture).
