blue eye (lids)

A project log for Johnny IV

I still have some servos around, ordered some ws2812b rings and bars and an ultrasonic sensor to get into a bit of animatronics

I'm jumping a bit through colors, because I've already used green and yellow and the servos are dark blue etc. ... I want to have him look interesting and colorful!

The mounting for the lower lids will be acetone "welded" on, once they are in the right position.

Printed and glued :)

Awesome :) Great Job!

Have you tried Sketchup or DesignSpark Mechanical for 3D Design?

Best Regards!

Thanks man! I tried sketchup but found it to be weird (can't put a finger on it though) and I haven't heard of DesignSpark yet. 123D design felt familiar somehow, I got into it fast and achieved what I wanted :)

Just curious - what SW are you using for 3D modelling?

  Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 10/18/2015 at 19:28 point

i used inkscape to create a svg file to import in 123D design

normally i get along just fine with 122d design but the outlines where too tricky this time

  Are you sure? yes | no

Oh yes, thanks.
