Description

Hummingbirds is a twin hummingbird automata that I designed, 3D printed and assembled for my wife who loves hummingbirds.  Consisting of over 100 3D printed parts and 3 purchased parts, Hummingbirds is quite a challenge to print and assemble.

She loves it so I&apos;m happy.

I can watch this hummingbird design all day. Every time it pops up I have to watch it. Gorgeous work Greg!

Beautiful job! I especially like the way the wings don't just flap but rotate on the long axis, just like a hovering hummingbird would do it. Very nicely done!
