- Here's the final part of my animatronic heart mechanism series. In this video, I'll show you how I made the flexible silicone skin which adds a ton of realism to the robotic heart!

Materials:
500g Platsil Gel 00 (I couldn't find a link for such a small amount but here is 2lb - amzn.to/2QiQf1H)
2kg Tinsil 7025 -
A small amount of Ease Release 205
Silicone pigment in dark red
A suitable container, which may be constructed using hot glue and styrene or similar

What would also be cool in addition to your animatronic heart mechanism is having hoses running through the veins of the silicon jacket and pumps attached to one end pumping blood out of them

RUclips: Wanna see a juicy heart?
I don’t know whether you’ve done this later on. But using IPA and/or Naphtha/Benzeen with a soft brush really smooths out this type of clay and welds individual pieces nicely together. When I make SFX makeup wounds, I tend to use two or three passes in different stages. The last pass always at the end to knock back textures a bit and make it nice and skin like.
And a tip on painting. Make the base colour the lightest colour of your piece. That “white grey” you had to put on, is that colour in that case. Probably more like a subtle yellow for fat tissue or a very light pink, muscle tends to be pinkish.
And then you can layer the reds on top with silicone washes. Reds cover very quickly so that’s easy. And the deep reds come from the FX bloods.
Oh and another tip, first put some white pigment into your base and then add that light colour. The reason for the white is to knock back that enormous translucency of the platsil. Translucent is great for skin and organs but it’s too translucent by itself.
Great build, as always!
You’ve inspired me to get a 3D printer just for this tbh
What a delightfully specific video this is
Wow, it looks like real human heart!
Excellent Will ! Some clays have sulfur and can hurt the silicone curing, You could digitally Sculpt over core . Core with its baseplate one piece and 3d printed and digitally Sculpted heart and its baseplate and one piece 3d printed and molded in silicone and after cure, Demold and insert the core in the mold ...Baseplate is the mold key ... casting in silicone on the core and Demold, remove it from the core and place on the mech core. Once again Well Done!
Put it inside an acrylic box with liquid and have it pumping 24/7
Incredible ! Great job !
Great work!
Do you sell these? the silicone one looks cool to have it sit on a pedalstil in glass pumping away on my desk
Damn I need this I’m making some kind of anatomy model that’s life size but not costly
Will Cogley es usted un chingon y un fregon... Congratulations! 😃😄
Would 3d printing the heart an option? (Instead of sculpting it)
i commented about this before, either a TPU (or other flexible material) cover could work
I also commented on using a FDM part to make a clay/plaster mold (As they did here)
With FDM, even with 0.2mm nozzles, the resolution would be questionable
With SLA and other Resin Based Designs it could be usable as is (But these are expensive and hard to work with)
Given that resins are expensive and hard to work with, with FDM, flexible filaments are weird i think the following workflow is the most sensible :
Hard (PLA, ABS, ETC) FDM Printed Blank -> Blank Finishing (Sanding/Powder Blasting off imperfections etc)
-> Mold Making (Either what they used or plaster -> Mold Casting
Plaster may work for metals too!
wowww
Maybe scanning or using a heart STL File may skip the sculpting. (use a STL file, and remove your base)
I need one! How much!?

now build a robot and make a realisc anatomicly corect spy

Oh got I thought he stole a persons heart
Just stole someone heart lol
Can I just buy a final finished product with the electronics I think I'd pay realistically up to £40
Also include the Arduino code so we could change and experiment with it
That's not much for the efforts needed to make this heart at small scale.
I'd doubt that would cover the cost of materials for the mechanism, let alone the silicone jacket...
That'd only be a realistic price if he was mass manufacturing. And yeah silicone casting material is quite expensive. In small batches the silicone would cost ~$30 (26 pounds) per heart. If I were selling it I'd price it at no less than $80
I say just do it youself, cheap(er), and you learn the associated skills
I found a shortcut during attempting this tutorial. I simply got a knife cut through my skin and bones and ripped out the heart! Looks more realistic than the heart in the tutorial!
Yeah mate. Looks so realistic. The only probl
Plzzzzzzz make animatronic just one plzzz legs arms eyes plzzzzz 😅😅😅
Oh you scared me i though u just ripped out a heart but nah great
Can you make a plaster or sand mold and cast it in aluminium or some other metal
Lost pla or wax could work too
(If you don't have metal capabilities thats fine, just thought i'd throw this idea out)
Will u be making a video on how to make the animatronic mouth mechanism
You has to use sulfur free plasticine as sulfur can inhibit silicone curing. Also you can reduce amount of expensive silicone for mold by making mold support instead of the whole box of silicone
Ah WOW I see spare toilet roll, they are going on Ebay for £100 used and £1000 none used?
It's very good
Will Cogley if you're reading this please reply, if someone has a heart disease would the animatronic heart work if someone did a heart transplant??
