Here's a short video showing the final product: Parts designed for making a wriggling body bag for Halloween. You'll need: Prints: Spine Disk x 8 Servo Mount x 1 Servo Pulley x 2 Hardware: Futaba S3004 Servos x 3/8" Poly Tubing for spine 1/16" Wire Rope 1/16" Aluminum Ferrules Foam Tube for Body Bolt that screws tight inside tubing Arduino Uno Adafruit Motor Shield V2 Adafruit Audio FX Board (if adding sound effects) Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Play Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 25% Notes: Support is necessary for the Servo Mount. Post-Printing Step 1 Transfer the hole pattern from the servo mount to the wood plate and drill the holes. Step 2 Drill a slightly undersized hole in the wood plate and screw the large bolt/screw through the servo mount and the wood plate. Step 3 Screw the poly tubing onto the bolt/screw, then slide the spine disks down the tubing and space them equally. Secure the top disk with a nail or screw. No need to glue the other disks. Step 4 Run the steel rope through the hole, through the spine disks, then secure at the top using the ferrules. Step 5 Drill holes in the servo pulleys to accommodate the steel rope. Center your servos. Using the included disk horn, screw this to the servo pulleys and mount. Feed the steel rope through the holes and secure with ferrules while under slight tension. Step 6 Use the attached Arduino code to run the servos at random. Connect the servo leads to the servo pins on the Motor Driver board. Step 7 Use foam tubing to create a life-like "body." Wrap in trash bags and hang it from a tree in your front yard. Scare kids
