Illusionist Buterfly Locket

thingiverse

The illusionist film features a butterfly pendant that appears fascinating but would not function in reality. I've devised a method to make it work, resembling the movie version. V1.1 of this design includes a cut-out for a necklace. A video demonstrating its functionality is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0XMJx0voJU. To assemble it, follow these steps: 1) Print the STL file; 2) prepare PVC glue (mix scrap PVC with acetone until it's thick); 3) insert part 9 into the groove on parts 5&6; 4) place part 1 in bottom groove of part 3; 5) position part 2 in bottom groove of part 7; 6) glue parts 3 and 5 together, only bonding these two components; 7) bond parts 7 and 6, ensuring only these two pieces are glued; 8) attach part 8 to part 1, with only these elements joined; 9) bond part 4 to part 2, making sure it's the only connection. Congratulations, your replica is complete!
