Articulated Keyboard Arm with Pivot and Tilt for NLR GT Lite Sim Cockpit
This is a keyboard mount I put together to allow me to use a keyboard when needed while in the cockpit. I've been playing a lot of BeamNG which requires a lot of keyboard inputs depending on what you're doing, so this has been much nicer than picking up and sitting down a keyboard over and over. The mount has 2 pivot points and a tilt axis so it can be positioned as needed.
Disclaimer, this model is not perfect. It has a good bit of flex, especially depending on your print settings and keyboard. The lighter the keyboard, the less flex/movement it will have. But if the pivot points are tightened enough, it will stay put for regular typing use. This design could definitely be improved, but this version is good enough for me. I've included the .f3d file of these parts in case you want to make any changes.
I also included a keyboard tray model that screws onto the tilt arm. This is sized to fit my Logitech K400 keyboard, which is sized 140mm X 354.3mm X 23.5MM. Any keyboard that size or under should fit. There are also two slots to insert velcro straps to secure the keyboard to the tray.
Assembly Hardware
2x M3x35mm screws and nuts to secure the clamp to the rig
4x M3x14mm screws and nuts to attach the keyboard tray to the tilt arm
1x M5x25mm screw and M5 nut to secure the long arm to the clamp. I did assemble this with M3 and M4 screws using washers, and it works, but an M5 screw will be more secure and sturdy.
1x M4x20mm screw and nut to attach the tilt arm to the long arm.
Print Settings
Everything is sized to fit on a 220x220 buildplate. Print all parts mostly or completely solid, at least 6-8 perimeters. The more solid, the less flex it will have in use. The tilt arm and keyboard tray should both be 100% solid infill for best strength and rigidity.
PLA works OK for this and is what I used at first, but things will loosen up with use and it may not hold as well long-term. PETG is a better choice as it seems to work better with the movable joints and is generally stiffer.
No supports are needed unless you're printing the keyboard tray. The RightHolder will need supports at the leftmost end with the screw holes, normal supports work best.
Feel free to repost any remixes of this model. It's good enough for my use cases so I probably won't make any more changes, but the whole thing could definitely be made stiffer/more robust and the keyboard tray could be improved as well.
