Sneek peek of the upcoming project :)
🕑 Added 2024-09-23 15:57:09 +0000 UTChey 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

I can try, send over the schematics layout with the sensor type and ill see what csn be done with the code :)
Joey bourg
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.
Matt Barnard
I really think the idea of having things like this designed to go in multiple other props is a genius move.
Matt Barnard
I have spent the last 2 days thinking about all the stupid (and the occasional cool) things I can put this in. I had seen similar things on thingiverse, but complicated things on there are far too often too difficult or require info not with the files. I've done 3 of Markos mechanical props now, and I'm not the type to keep a super calibrated printer, the post processing doesn't bother me, and all 3 just worked, easy, with no dicking around! So super excited for this!
Matt Barnard
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!
