VTOL motor tilt mechanism

This is a simple tilt mechanism that i designed for a VTOL aircraft that I am building.

This design uses a standard 40g servo. I used the HXT5010. additionally it uses a 685 bearing. I know most here would consider it a non-standard bearing. But that is the one used as the main shaft bearing for a 450 size helicopter and I had quite a few spare.

Please feel free to customize or better even, draw the parts in OpenScad.

rotate the motor mount file(Motor.STL) by 180degrees before slicing.

The bearing center is designed like a keyed shaft so that it can be printed vertically. This makes the part, lot stronger. I have found this method to generate a lot stronger shaft parts. The key idea is to print the length of the shaft in every layer. Flattening it out on one edge helps in printing with out support.
