OpenRC F1 Front Suspension Servo Saver Solution

Description

For those of you who have done the front suspension mod, here is the solution for how to hold the servo saver without drilling holes, etc.

Replace the original servo holder with this one.

I used flexible material (TPU) so the top arm can bend upwards if the servo saver gets called into action but you can use PLA instead if the TPU bends too much.

There are 2 versions of the front suspension mod:

  • https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2069719 (by Drazen)
  • https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2282773 (2017 version by Torandi)

(The photo shows it with my adjustable steering mod: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2738514 )

#####UPDATE:
After some testing, I found that the TPU would bend too much causing the servo-saver to open with too little force.
I have updated it to v2.
I have beefed up the top arm (adding 1mm thickness) and also added holes for an optional 24mm M3 bolt and nut to allow you to adjust the tension at which the servo-saver activates.
(If you use a 25mm M3 bolt, you need to either cut off 1mm or drill a 1mm deep hole in the chassis plate)

If you are printing it in PLA, ABS, PETG, PC, etc, use v1.
