How To Make A Servo Bracket

Making a servo mount for a model train level crossing can be done using acrylic

This is a step by step guide to making cost saving, easy to install servo brackets.

Cut acrylic to Size 7.5 by 5.3 cm  .

It will then be bent using a hot air gun.  The bend should be made at 2 cm from the top edge.

 

This video shows the bending process.

 

A soldering iron is used to make holes in the acrylic.

Use a soldering iron to make holes in the center so that you can insert a coping saw blade and cut out the area.

Cut a little undersized and square it up with a file. Measurements are in mm.

 

 

 

 

Then make holes for the servo and  bracket mounting screws.

This video shows how this is done.
