Kind of annoyed Extruder Indicator

thingiverse

If your next print is going to take forever...\n\nAs you might have already guessed, this project is purely for fun.\n\nI had a crazy idea for a little extruder (or stepper) indicator and I just had to make it!\n\nNotice that this thing uses gears to roll the eyes, so it can be pretty loud, depending on what material you're using. Adding some kind of lubricant might help.\nAlso, if you want to attach it to the back of your extruder stepper, you'll need a 5 x 8 Neodymium magnet in a cylindrical shape to hold onto the stepper shaft.\n\nDepending on how precise your printer is, you may have to glue the gear to the pinion. \n\nYou don't actually have to print the pupils at all - I just painted mine with black marker and it works!\n\nI've added the STEP file... so if you like it, go ahead and remix it and show me what you come up with!
