The original servo clamp is designed to mount the servo sideways, with the screws also going in sideways. This is very difficult to access in the tight confines and curves of the astromech dome. A couple of years ago, I designed a small clamp that slides over the servo bracket and the servo's mounting tab, and has a screw hold on top, so you can screw the clamp onto the bracket and hold the mounting tab at the same time. Makes removing the screw significantly easier.
Not sure if this is any better than Helmet's own v2 bracket clamp, since I designed and started using this before I found that option. Presenting it here as another option for folks to try.
Does not need to be printed with any great detail, and isn't large enough to require infill.
Pictures show an example of one servo in the middle with the top screw the original way and the bottom screw with this clamp, while the two on the sides are using the clamp; second picture shows servo in the foreground with both screws the original way and one in the background with the clamp on both.
