Automaton
thingiverse
The goal of our project was to print out and assemble 2-D pieces in order to make our own 3D automaton. My partner and I designed an Osprey to move up and down while its propellers spun by using cams, followers, and a hand crank. Its dimensions are approximately 25 by 25 by 30cm. This device can be assembled in less than 10 easy steps and it’s a great tool to learn about the conversion of rotational motion into linear motion, normal force and frictional force, and more.
