This model is the mechanical turret unit of the open-source G2A-LADD (Ground-to-Air Low-Altitude Drone Detection) project. The system uses two high-torque MG996R servo motors to provide horizontal (pan) and vertical (tilt) movement.
The body is specifically designed to carry a Logitech Brio 100, 101, or 105 series USB camera and a KY-008 laser module on the same axis. Consisting of five parts in total, this structure is fully optimized for 3D printing.
Recommended Print Settings:
Material: PLA or PETG
Layer Height: 0.2 mm
Wall Loops (Perimeters): 3
Infill: 20-25% is sufficient for all main body parts. It is recommended to use 100% infill only for the small support piece called "Idler Pin". Gyroid pattern is recommended.
Assembly and Tolerance Notes:
Depending on your printer's precision and minor manufacturing differences in MG996R motors on the market, you might need some minor adjustments during assembly:
You can lightly sand the inner edges of the camera slot to ensure the webcam fits perfectly and securely.
If the standard screws included with the motors do not fit the printed mounting holes, you can slightly widen the holes with a small drill bit or use different screws.
Software and AI Tracking Codes: The files here only include the mechanical design. You can access the system's ESP32 control codes, wiring diagrams, and Python/YOLO-based AI tracking software via the project page.
