Flying Sea Turtle

thingiverse

When the film spreads through the web, it shows a plastic straw pulled out from a poor turtle's nostrils, which used its misfortune to slightly change the world. Many people have taken the initiative to stop using plastic straws and some chain restaurants no longer offer them to their customers. In fact, it's not just straws that harm turtles in the ocean! Marine debris, plastic bags, fishing hooks, abandoned fishing nets, etc., also lead turtles to death. The rapid development of science and technology has created many substances that shouldn't exist in nature; unfortunately, most species aren't evolving fast enough to catch up with us. These sea turtles are typical examples - they can't distinguish jellyfish from plastic bags that might kill them. It's much more important for us to think about our nature when we're trying to get anything further progressed. I've seen turtles swimming below me while snorkeling. The slow waving movement of their forelimbs looked like they were flying under the sea, which provided inspiration for "Flying Sea Turtle." I took my previous origami turtle creation as a prototype and added more details to it. I used a movable mechanism to imitate the body undulating, even the relative movement of the neck and body of the sea turtle under reaction force. It's my goal to reproduce the turtle swimming gracefully under the sea! After a few weeks of hard work, I completed "Flying Sea Turtle" automata! And I love it a lot! The design process and the final completed work bring me a lot of fun and achievements. Sincerely, I hope everyone can be delighted during the assembling.
