Hi, I am 3d printing the STLs for the Revolution6. I have 12 HDD servos on order, due in March. In the meantime I have to hand the Developer Kit which has HD servos. These do not seem to fit the EZ bit P23 A-01 STL as supplied in the Revolution6 assembly tutorial. Are they a different size to the HDD servos. Or could I be missing something in how to attach the servo to the printed part?

Hey - something i thought of, you'll want to calibrate the servos before putting the U brackets on. Because the servos should be in 90 degree position. There's a good tutorial on EZ-Robot's website here: https://synthiam.com/Community/Tutorials/25
The idea is you want the servos to be in their 90 degree position before adding the U bracket. That way, that will be the 90 degree position so the robot can walk and move correctly. If you simply put the U brackets on without knowing what position the servos are in, you'll end up with the servos being in all sorts of wonky positions... and most likely burn out a servo because it'll try to move too far and bump into something.
LOL.... You need to remove the back of the servo... The 3d part replaces it...
I did try that before I posted, honest, but thought the motor and PCB were connected to it! All done now though and thanks for the answer.Hey - something i thought of, you'll want to calibrate the servos before putting the U brackets on. Because the servos should be in 90 degree position.

Thanks for the info! Just have to wait for the servos to arrive from your supplier here in Spain.
