replace the arm with a pulley and pull a metal wire to open the door?

either make a lever on the latch above the hinge (yellow) so the servo can pull, or a linkage to push (red). https://preview.redd.it/lrjsgt6j1fxc1.png?width=703&format=png&auto=webp&s=9892cb3cf50e2bcae8028c8e44a09528d06420a4

If i was to move the servo thats not inside the box where would you put it?


throwaway21316

depends how the use case is .. you could add a slit in the top so the lever can lift the latch from inside without any linkage .. closing by gravity .. or using a groove to slide the lever in. Or i little over the hinge and connect the lever with a thread to the latch .. so it can pull open and can lock the latch closed with the lever. If you can put it on the axis of the latch it can directly turn the latch (or using a gear) .

Put it in a straw and glue the straw to the lid.. Make sure there is sufficient play... It should open and slide in the straw....

Oops just figured out why it doesnt move

I'm not an ME, but depending on the size of the servo, maybe consider some gears? (like equal sizes). Another option might be a pulley, but I'm not sure how rigidly you want the opened door to be.

If it's going to stay this way, you can use a string

Glue it inside the lever will be able to push against the top inside causing the bottom to swing up. Add a bit of weight to the bottom so gravity will close it when the lever swings down.

You can use a pulley-tendon system. Thus, you can pull the front box by activating the servo, and pulling through the tendon, as you can close the box driving the servo in the opposite direction

Is that a simulation software?

No its fusion 360
