Sneek peek of the upcoming project :)

hey guys :) 

First - attached you will find a photo of what this will be used for :)

By now you are most likely used to the fact that  If I just "disappear" it just means I'm working on something nice :) 

So ,here's a little sneak peek, its not yet ready, but let me show you what i have been workin on this past week :D 

I designed an animatronic eye mechanism that is quite small so the idea is for it to be able to change between some of the upcoming props I have in mind. 

The eye movement is so life like it's a bit scary to be honest , but that's what we are aiming for. 

I will prepare the parts list, code, instructions, parts, all of it for you so it will be as easy as possible for you to make it, and while working on it , i have to say, this will by far be the easier to work with eye animatronics that you might have encountered, so i hope you're excited for this bcs it's gonna be awesome :) 

First in line is the Spellbook from the Hocus pocus movie. 

It also has a motion sensor so the eye is closed (sleeping) until you approach it and then it comes to life :D i can't wait to show you the finished design and print

So i would kindly ask for a tiny bit more time , but next few props will make your eyes "pop out" :D yeah i know XDXD

Hi, I have a couple of questions. I'm just now finishing this up for Halloween. I see you use a thin bead of something to glue the eyeball shell to the 3D printed part. Could you tell me what you are using there? Also, the link that goes between the servo arm and the eyeball (to make it go left & right). It looks like this is just set in. Can't use glue obviously, but won't this just fall out when the book it laying on it's back?

Instead of motion sensor, could you use a sound sensor so like if the person wants to say book it would open the eyes

First time I saw this I immediately thought of Mad eye moody from Harry Potter. Wish I was tech savvy.

Suggestion for things for this to go in... Helmet stand! Especially if you can put an led into the eye!. Imagine a whole wall of Marcos helmets, with blinking eyes following you around the room!!!

Do you know what size the pupil needs to be so that we can start ordering the parts? Timing will be crucial in order for me to get this out for my customers. Thanks MM!
