Dasaki Compact Animatronic Eyes + MakerEd Project

thingiverse

Animatronic eyes are moved by tiny micro hobby servos. A compact design lets these eyes be fitted snugly into a robot head. The eyes feature a space for a PCB in case you want to add some led lighting. Metric thread screws and washers are M3, while the rest of the screws are made from recycled materials. In total, the action range is 90 degrees on both pan and tilt axes (-45 to 45). Video: http://youtu.be/YpbuKT704FI Change Log: 11th June 2014 - Pan servo harness updated for easier assembly.

Custom Section Assembly Instructions Assembly process pictures are included in a pdf file. Be sure to screw the servos into their mid position (90 degrees), so you can have the right range (in my case, 45deg to 135deg).
