I quickly get excited about model rockets and decided to try to make my own vector thruster. This is the smallest gyro-based vector thruster I've seen and will continue to try to make smaller versions.
BEWARE: this project won't be assemblable with just the 3D-printed parts, and it requires a lot of assembly.
What I used:
- 9g 5v servos - x2
- 1/8 or .125in diameter rivets - x6 (these should do the trick: [homedepot rivets](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-8-in-x-1-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Blind-Rivet-6-Pack-835448/204868114))
- from the rivets I used the rivet body as pins for all the gyros
- the control arms were made up of the setting mandrel from the rivets
- and finally the lower control arm connection points were made from shortening the rivet body and shaping the setting mandrel so it coul
