Description
The design can be entirely 3D printed and can use hobby electronics components. However I would recommend using Will Cogley’s animatronic compatible eyes and the dedicated EyeMech controller board available for purchase through https://nmrobots.com/
Supplies
The following parts are recommended:
- 6x Micro servos, choose either:
- **SG90 - Low-cost, easy to find, but weaker and slower**
- **MG90s - A great middle-ground between cost and power**
- Note that several other types of servo with similar form factors may also be compatible with the mechanisms, but not all have been tested at this time
- 2x Realistic Eyeballs, choose either:
- 1x Eye Mechanism Controller Board
- Optional: 1x Handheld Controller Board
On a tighter budget or if you’d just prefer to use more standard parts, you can use a
Raspberry Pi Pico
with a breadboard, jumper cables and a
two-way switch
instead, but note that the system may be less reliable than the purpose-made board.
