3D Printed Animatronic Eyes for My A.I. Generated Cat Art
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- I created a piece of art that has moving eyes! I build these 3D printed animatronic cat eyes and put them behind a poster on my wall. I used MidJourney to generate this cool poster that looks like my cat Nimbus! Doing this project I learned more about animatronics, I2C servo control, and how bad I am at woodworking. I hope you enjoy!

STOP 😍🐱 this is too good! Another killer project 👏 thanks for sharing Lukas!
Thanks Brittani!! ♥️
That was really cool! Massive respect for diving head first into so many different new things in one project.
If you can get access to a laser cutter, that would have made clean and quick work of a lot of that project. You can put painter's tape over the parts that will get cut, and any burn marks should end up on the tape and not the art.
As far as having the eyes follow someone in the room, I have never done anything like that, but I'm pretty sure you can get a camera and hook it up to the electronics, and use existing tracking software. Not sure how difficult that would be to implement though.
I could imagine a whole wall or gallery filled with different cat art, but all with moving eyes tracking people. That would be fun.
Hey I actually do have a laser cutter now Great idea! Also that would be such a cool idea for an art installation!!! 😸😸😸😸😸
Great video! You’re production quality and story telling is top notch and I loved the project 🐱🐱
Hey thanks! I'm trying to improve with each video. 😄
Love this addition to the cat wall, great job!!!
Thank you! 😊
I happened to make the same Cogley eyemech a few weeks ago using the same joystick, button, potentiometer and other components from the same Elegoo kit! I also had issues making sense of the wiring diagram, and while my eyes move side to side and up and down, the eyelids are awry. (Just one shot of the actual breadboard connections would have cleared things up immensely.) Onward to face-tracking!
Yeah I ended up just figuring out the wiring bit by bit. Will makes some really good content and I'm pretty sure in his newer videos He's more detailed about the wiring diagrams.
I love that! I can’t believe how creepy yet cool this looks 😂 immediately subscribed, love to see more 😊
Oh hey thanks so much!!
Ah man, it's great to see you still at the same type of awesome projects! Loving the tinkercad use too, under-appreciated program for sure.
Thanks Travis! Yeah it's been a great way for me to get into 3D modeling. I'm starting to venture into fusion 360 but I'm still a total noob 🙃
Great Project !
Looking forward to see more awesome content !
Hey thanks so much! I have two more projects in progress right now 🙂🙂
Ha! Great idea and execution man! I'm looking forward to seeing your woodworking tools and experience grow with this channel! :D ( I have that same Elegoo Arduino Kit, so many fun bits in there) BTW, that photoshop shoutout made me laugh WAY more than it should have!
Hey thanks so much! 😃😃
For the holes, run your drill backwards for the first few seconds not pushing at all. Then go forward. You can also put blue tape down and cut through the blue tape and you'll get less tear out.
Hey thanks so much for suggestion!
I actually just listened to the episode on the RUclips creators podcast where you were interviewed. Awesome interview and I'm honored that you found my content ♥️♥️
A great idea, but I think if you added "PIR motion sensor HC-SR501" it would work better and save battery charging
Good suggestion! I'll look into it. I have this hanging in my living room. It would be cool to turn it on when guests are over and let it surprise them 🙀
yeah it will be super cool😯@@LukasDeem
💜
Keep it creepy and cool. Great video. Enjoy watching the process.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the cameo on the video ❤😂
Ayyy!
You did an amazing job of share a complete journey of this project from concept to lessons learned! This is dope!
I bet you're missing the woodworking gear from the warehouse huh?
Hey thanks man!! Yes the woodworking equipment would have made this 100% easier 😑😄
Love this project! You've inspired me to do something similar but with a series of narrow beam PIR sensors to determine which direction to position the eyes.
That would be awesome! You should do it and post a vid! 😁
@LukasDeem Challenge accepted! You should apply to showcase at Open Sauce. Your projects are awesome and I'm certain it would bump your following.
@@sumimoto. I've never heard of open sauce, let me give it a google 🙃. I've never really had a chance to connect with other nerd/makers in the community so I'm totally down.
@@LukasDeem Well then, you're going to absolutely love it! I'm an exhibitor this year and I'm certain that you'd be a shoo-in for getting accepted as well.
@@sumimoto. Hey thanks! This event looks awesome, I might want to come just as a spectator so I can hang out and get inspired! 🙃
This is so creepy, stuff horror movies are made of. I like it!
Imagine walking in the room at night(with no context of the picture) and discover, eyes of one of the paintings are moving, AND THEY ARE FOLLOWING YOU,
Yeah I know right?! I was actually thinking last night what if I printed the eyes on glow in the dark filament?? 🙃
@@LukasDeem 👁️😾👁️
Great work, a cheap ultra sonic sensor could be installed discreatly for tracking. Lots of examples on github for the code. I made a simialr teminator head with this approach. In your clock video you mentioned a website, could you share the link I cant seem to find where you posted it. Keep up the good work.
Hey! I was probably referring to Will Coglys post on instrutables. I liked his video in the description. Yes! I have a spare ultrasonic sensor laying around. I may have to try it 😸
Omg this is so awesome. Do a parrot with a moving beak next! Extra cool if it could say "squak, danger, danger" when you trigger something. It will have to be hung on the wall across from the cats lol.
Haha I could even give it a lil beak and animate it to match what it says 🙃
@LukasDeem exactly what I was envisioning!
@@LaurenMorrow-zo9pz ayyy! 🙃🙃
Great content. Quality video. A CNC machine for parts would be useful. I make parts, frames, shapes and more on mine.
So I actually got a laser cutter since I shot this video 🙃. I use it in my next video. I should have it posted in the next few days 😄😄
Nice work! Hot glue is a savior sometimes haha
Agreed! I use it more than I would like to admit 😀
The way I would tackle the power management is: Find a 9-12V powerpack, get a DC barrel plug for the Arduino (Google: Arduino jack), power the Arduino directly over the powerpack (instead of USB) and use a 9-12V to 5V voltage regulator for the servo driver, as it clearly says 6V Max for V+ on the backside of the PCB. I guess 5V 1A should be fine as an output for the voltage regulator, since it already able to run with a small 9V battery.
Got it. When you say power pack though, is that a battery power pack or a wall plug?
@@LukasDeem A battery power pack. Of course there are AC/DC switching power supplies as well, but since you are a beginner I wouldn't recommend it to you (for safety reasons).
Edit: For testing of new circuits you could buy a laboratory power supply. Many have 2 separate DC channels.
@@MeisterAlucard hey thanks for the advice! 🤠
Hey nice work. Why didn't you use the "+5V" pin on the headers next to the two GND pins to power the servo board? It will give you the +5 rail that came in via the USB. The "typical" FND340P fet that is inline between the USB +5v and the rest of the 5v inside the Uno can cope with ~2A continuous which should have been plenty in this case.
Ah! I assumed it wouldn't be able to handle it. Thanks for the heads up! 😃
Love it! IMHO if you want the eyes to blend more into the painting instead of making them look hyper-realistic like Will Cogley’s, I’d actually lean into the painterly look of your artwork and give them some color texture/variation esp in the solid yellow areas.
Hey! Yes totally agree. We are both super bad with painting details like this 🙃.
could you help me to made project like that .😊
Lego AI dave. Look at that 😊
well put the wood on a table then use a saw, it will give you better results
