At only 125mm tall and weighing in fully assembled at 93g (32 oz), this version is significantly smaller and lighter, and requires fewer parts (both 3D printed and purchased) than the original. A simple rotation of the magnetically attached lid activates a reed switch connecting the battery to the motor that powers our Walking Pumpkin I

Hi Dan!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it!

Sorry about the description mess up, I think I've fixed it now.

Many, many thanks again, and thanks to you and Hackaday for the Pink and Green Domino Machine II article, I was truly humbled to read it and see the responses!

Love your print quality - everything seems so smooth and perfect. What a nice look!

One thing - you might want to check the links to the videos. They appear broken.
