DIY Animatronic Eye Mechanism 3D Printed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2017
- In this very cheap and quick project, I built a convincing DIY animatronic eye mechanism using CAD software, a 3D printer and Arduino.
Find links to the 3D models and code in the following instructable:
www.instructables.com/id/3D-P...
You can get the majority of the parts from an arduino starter kit like this: amzn.to/31Cj4bw although you'll need to buy some more servos (amzn.to/2P7R5ha). If you need to buy anything individually, check the following list:
Materials and Components used in this project:
Any Arduino board that can support 4 servos (check to make sure it has at least 4 PWM pins, most do) I used an Arduino Uno: amzn.to/2W2cPfT
4x SG90 micro servos: amzn.to/2W3ON4j
Joystick: amzn.to/2N0CGRk
Potentiometer (10k ohms is generally a good value to use: amzn.to/2o63ze6)
Push-to-make switch (Some joysticks have this built in, but its easier to control when its seperate: amzn.to/35UM55G)
220 Ohm resistor: amzn.to/2JcjaAe
Jumper Cables: amzn.to/2MCf9XQ
2 x M3 bolts or similar: amzn.to/33SsHEA
Stiff Wire (I used packaging wire)
Breadboard
3mm Universal Joint (This is the only part that isn't as easy to find, I bought them from this link:www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-.... )

great build man, was looking for an animatronic project to try out, thanks for posting!
That is without a doubt, the coolest creepy eye following thingy I've ever seen. Thank you for posting. Gonna put this on the Halloween list of things to do! Love it!
This is so cute I love it
Good work😊
Very cool!
soo simple but so cool. happy halloween
This is awesome thank you for sharing
Awesome maaaaan!
Loved this! Adding to our blog now. Would love to see a tutorial up on Hackster, too!
Much appreciated, I've not heard of your website but I'll check it out!
Awesome !
You should make a kit for a door camera. Just a little camera to fit inside the eye and app control from a smartphone and you would have a something everyone with too much money would want to buy.
awesome
Do you have some code for automatic blinking with random eye movements with override priority if the joystick is used? So you can leave it autonomous unless you move with your joystick and then it goes back to autonomous. Thanks
wow !!! how natural it moves ... and how easy it looks to make !!! but how do i draw it so well ???? :)
Sick
How do you move it with the joystick
Great project, but unfortunately poor printing (some parts)
This is a bit of an old video of yours but I wanted to say a huge thank you for this mechanism. It helped me a lot with my final major project as a 3rd year model maker. I wanted to tag and credit your instagram since I'm sharing progress of said project on my main platforms ( as I made a five nights at freddy's animatronic mask). But I don't see any accounts with your name, I assumed you don't have an instagram so I've credited your youtube channel :) Keep creating, your work is very interesting, helpful and inspiring.
Glad I could help!! Thanks for the kind words
I need a little help here. As a specific sequence for such a complex movement is very hard to replicate through codes, can we record it or perhaps you can guide me to a possible code for my sequence? Thanks!
How would you make the eyes without 3d printing??? 😣
Printing it as we speak! Will show you the final result in Instructables! 😊 Where do you get the part that goes in the back of the eye?
Nice could you tell me please exactly how can I conect the coltroler with servo motors?
What is a good quick way to learn programming for animatronics
Would it be possible to tweak this for a manual puppeteer version using cables?
Yeah definitely, I'd love to see that.
Great idea! I've been looking for a manual 3D printed eye blink mech too
Great video, but can the joystick be used without it being connected?
can you make a arduion code controller for wireless dualshock 3?. i want to control this mechatronic eye using wireless controller.
I don't really understand how you made the eye following the joystick
Me gustan éstos mecanismo de ojos pero mándemen a decir ¿como compro? soy de Colombia. Gracias.
How you make a eyes?
Hi, I have assembled the eye but never used Arduino or the software, I got joystick which has 5 pins (GND, +5V, VRx, VRy & SW), in your diagram you show two separate items for controlling x and y of the eye, how would I connect these to the breadboard/Arduino?
Keith Hi Keith, the diagram is a bit misleading sorry about that. You should be able to just connect the +5V and GND to the Arduino and this should power all 3 sensors for the X control, y control and the switch. So you can connect the VRx and VRy to A1 and A0 respectively, and just ignore the SW unless you want to use the joystick as the blinking switch too. In that case I'm not sure on how you'd wire it but get back to me if you do and I'll look it up for you. Hope that helps.
// replaces the bpin command
const int SW_pin = 10; // Joystick Switch & change the pin to whichever digital pin you attach it to on your arduino
// replace bpin in void setup
pinMode(SW_pin, INPUT); // add the Joystick switch
// added after "Serial.begin(9600);"
pinMode(SW_pin, INPUT);
digitalWrite(SW_pin, HIGH);
Serial.begin(115200);
// replace the current blinkval in the void loop
blinkval = digitalRead(SW_pin); //joystick button
@@aaronvega1362 Why do we need "Serial.begin"?
What's the size of the universal joint
3mm to 3mm is how it's listed, here's the exact one I bought if it helps: www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-Rc-Boat-Stainless-Steel-Cardan-Joint-Gimbal-Couplings-Universal-Joint-for-4-3mm-4-3/32527458049.html
Am a African guy, I wanna invent a robot, but still don't understand the DC motor position for the eye, I made some it's cool still having problem for the eye.
Incredibely creepy
ciao, hai il list per arduino?
mdrrrrrr , la qualité des pieces imprimés fait peur . bonjour la finition ahahahah
Nobody I know has a 3d printer 😞
Can it be made wireless
Yes. Servos and wires don’t do too much. The power is what moves it. And we know in energy there is mass so just use weight

I'm actually building a robot thanks
Um I'd have to buy a 3d printer tho lol
Depending on where you are some libraries have a public printer to use. And there are some cheap printing services too
Instructables uses quicktemplate for the downloads. In the disclaimer quicktemplate can change content, change web page opened and all kinds of creepy stuff. instructables and or quicktemplate can cram their pirate malware up their ass as far as I'm concerned.
Where can I buy one of these fully assembled??? I need one for a project and I have absolutely zero 3D printing or coding skills.
