Hey good robotic eyes put two camera on eyes that can detect object and human in eye balls make video post on RUclips 😮

could you list all the components required for your pcb cheers

Can you provide design of this mechanism ❣️

Could you upload the stl files for the snap fit controller.

possible to make a manual puppet operating print of this? even if it means losing the up/down motion of the eyes to simplify.

could we please have the stl for the eyes please love the channel

WIll, this the best 3D design I had the pleasure to build. Great work!!!

I like the design idea, though the moving checks scare me more then the fangs

Can i buy this system somewhere?

The silicone version with the goo on it looks pretty good. I’ve seen open heart surgeries before and the movement is pretty darn close to the real thing. And yes, heart transplants I believe they test the new heart before putting it in the body. Heart muscles are pretty crazy.

I'm currently working my way through basic mechanical engineering and wanted to know if you have any resources for understanding how to design and implement mechanical movements into projects.

Will, it's nice to see that you're still refining your designs. If you would like to have your designs be able to be used in real world applications, there are a few tweaks that need to be made. The issues I'm running into is that they simply don't fit in most applications. If you want a more "universal" type design that can actually be put in animatronics, the eyes and lids and the mounting brackets for them need to be extended at least 1/2" to 3/4". The problem is clearance issues. They should fit easily in the orbits of the eye sockets. When using them in human 😉animatronic heads, especially skulls, they don't fit.

You don't mention all the parts we need to buy to make it work like screws and bearings

can you make a arduion code controller for wireless dualshock 3?. i want to control this mechatronic eye using wireless controller.

Will's back! Still waiting for the day you upscale your design to fit a FNaF animatronic. Do you think that's something you would ever try? I feel like you would have fun making a video of a fully working FNaF head with moveable eyes, eyebrows, ears, and mouth, etc., and the bonus is that the views are basically guaranteed.

Top marks Mann! Impressive sir. I admire your dedication and altruism. By opening up your shop and sharing your experience and knowledge you prove we have a reason to be here in the first place.

looks like carcinization in action

This is amazing. I found this, in this video so much work done. Love your videos

I'm creating a free mobile puppetry service for children's hospitals, can I buy the eye mech from you?

Paint the eyes with rust oleum transparent glossy paint. Cheap and effective.

Hi, very cool design! I try to build it on my own but when I upload the gerber (doesn't matter which version), BOM and CPL files to JLCPCB the "component placements step" throws an error: "The system detects components that may be offset from the PCB". Autoalignment doesn't work. Have you maybe not uploaded the correct files or am I doing something wrong?

Can you share the stl file please

great vid just a quick question have printed and wired everthing but get no movement on any servo any ldeas

Started coding for running with a pi pico, it used to be controlled with two pots, but I'm working on a website. ruclips.net/video/Tw_ylxdJ4UE/видео.htmlsi=lCGDK_DIhJgJdQVS

Have you considered using electromyography sensors on the arm to control the hand? You could record the electric response from the muscles in your forearm, combined with the motion capture data to train an AI model to predict the hand position from the EMG signal alone.

Thanks man !! :)

Lookin good, Will! Love the beard!

Brilliant work! I know people in the puppet community would 100% buy finished versions of this. I also think there is a version of this that is rod controlled, no servos required. Not a cable, a solid rod. The rod is pushed up and down, and the eyes move up and down, this fits in the neck. But left to right? Solved by the rod controlling that via being rotated left and right. Horns, like on a servo, attach to the eyes via a linkage system etc. I know puppet people like big eyes, that are sometimes more than 50% out of the head. If the eyes are held in place by rubber bands the eyes can stick out further, and the rod mech doesn't need to have a middle axis because the sphere eyes are being pulled into a socket, that acts like a ball bearing, creating the axis. Just putting this into your head....

quieter musicccccccc but nice one

Hello ! Great job! Can I buy a PCB from you?

In the 3D printing/STLs directory there are 43 items. Do all of these need to be printed to make the eyes?

Great design. Is it me or is the link to the PCB not working?

Can you provide code of your previous project aurdiuno based eye mechanism ruclips.net/video/Ftt9e8xnKE4/видео.htmlsi=EL6lA9KkkDSy5Ogm

Can you provide the code of servo.motor

7 years! An eternity man! NOW you understand why Chinese R&Ds employ 50+ engineers and 7 world-class PhDs on ONE PROJECT like this one, in order to achieve way more than you did in JUST 3 MONTHS! Being lonely is really a pretentious, irrealistic choice and definitely an inefficient IDEA! Poor man...

honestly, rather than printing out and meticulously figuring out a filament "gripper" paw pad, you could just pop down to a hardware store, get some silicone caulking and drip a bit or pinch some onto the bottom and voila, grip achieved. the advantage of this would be absolute rapid prototyping as you can literally just scrape it off and start again, not to mention filament costs and time designing, and my personal opinion-it's just fun to be more physically involved in creation sometimes, add a human element every now and again, ya feel?

Find mass produced ready made cheap eyes and remove electronics and make it a hand/finger moving puppet and it's an amazing toy

Now anyway to remove all electronics? I know it will limit its movements but with a couple 3d printable knobs or levers, we coule have this thing be an incredible battery-free toy that could even attach to many adapters , one of them could be a long stick that let's you move the eyes from behind a cloth or wall or under a table, so you can puppet this thing manually with some manual pupetter marionette style animatronic hand tools whatever those are lol im sure that's a whole adventure for someone else to try

Can you make it use self sealing stem bolts? I have so many lying around

Thank you so much. I think it's time for a universal 3d printable fastener and ai to help us redesign models for 3dprintables latched and pins etc... but yeah maybe we can make a universal 3d printable fastener or even a metal fastener that's the ultimate screw we can make in bulk for 3d printers or use something already ready to buy like self sealing stem.bolts

When you have circuit board 2.0, can you please offer it for sale. I would love to buy one. Could you design this as single eye? I have a model i need to space the eyes out on. This would make my life so much easier.

Anyone else having trouble finding the pcb?

Is there a way to use the parts you selected with jlcpcb? I try to use the ZIP at jlcpcb and it says: "Filenames cannot contain special characters or the following words【eval,copy,convert,confirm,Copy】" edit: Im going to try to use PCBWay instead

Thanks for showing all of these tips and tricks for animatronics, I believe you have the best educational content in youtube and the website you have is awesome. Thanks again I really appreciate the effort you put on these.

When do you think you’ll release the files for the controller?

Just found your videos. I love hobbyist robotics. What to build first?

Wow! ❤

Brilliantly thorough as always!

I hated the design of prosthetics back in the 1980s when I was in my senior high class and so I designed a realistic almost natural range of motion. The muscle components were to be made with silicone, electromagnetic flex impulse, signal from the brain feeds electromagnetic fibers embedded in the artificial muscle flesh, with a hydraulic system also embedded that would resemble veins, probably, with artificial skin and that would allow the flexor tensor back and forth action and make it look very realistically normal or biological I should say maybe and ferro- Magnetic fluid was my first thought for the hydraulic action, one reason for this is because it's no Motors it is a completely different idea and so you would want the Bulge of a bicep because that hydraulic action would cause that especially with a design of your channels in the muscles and if you design the skeletal features and ligaments and tendons it would be very biologically realistic especially with any touch sense. You could combine several processes and use far lower power. I want to be able to help refine a design of and operation of the redesign of my doable miracle. No no motors. Cmuscle so that you can cover it with skin or gloves or whatever and it is basically barely noticeable that they would be simulating by a hands my nephew lost his hands and his feet to being bit by a flea a year ago and now I'm desperate not just interested to help him so if I can help you then I will help him and others that desperately need it simulated biological process with artificial components. That's what I would call it.

WARNING: For anyone changing from the compact design to this. The base plate does not have enough space to fit the MG90S servos that are vertical on the sides, only an SG90 will fit. It does look there should be space to cut the base a bit and make room. Great design otherwise!
