RC Tower Crane - 1.5m (54") Tall, no Arduino required. 6V DC motor, 2 micro servos and LED Light.
Update 29 Sep: I have removed a few of the .stl files because they were actually older versions of the parts I used for the prototype (e.g. file number number 13 and 41).
Parts List added. Hardware includes various M3 screws, and 4 M4 (20mm or 25mm) screws. The M4 screws are only needed for the pivot platform You will also need 2mm threaded rod or very, very long M2 screws for the spool servo and the pivot platform servo. You will need a few 2mm nuts as well for the threaded rods to keep them from spinning when the servos are running.
The 3mm brass (or stainless steel if you choose) rods are used to connect and support the Tower Frame parts and Jib/Truss arm parts and will need to be cut to 40mm (see the pictures) I chamferred the ends with sand paper. 3mm brass rods will also need to be cut to various sizes as well to use as axles for the bearings I used in the pulleys, and also to connect the Jib supports to the A-Frame Tower. The pulleys use a few different size bearings because I couldn't fit some of the larger bearings in some of the smaller pulleys.
The bottom Tower Frame uses screws on the bottom to connect to the Base Beam and brass rod "pins" cut to about 40mm to connect to the middle tower frame parts. The middle tower frame parts use only 40mm brass pins. The Top Tower Frame has 40mm brass pins on the bottom and 3mm screws on the top. The Tower Frame that sits on top of the motor enclosure requires only 3mm screws, no brass pins. The holes for the pins and 3mm screws are different diameters so they are not interchangeable.
