The animating mechanism features three axes of rotation: pitch (the spout), yaw (the handle), and roll (the body), plus a wobbling circular travel path. It's powered by a 3.7VDC 100MA LIPO battery driving an N20 6VDC 100RPM gear motor. The model draws approximately 8MA during operation. Why a teapot? In my early days of designing 3D graphic engines for video games and avionics applications (over forty years ago), the teapot was always the go-to model for testing CGI/graphic engine rendering speeds. So, I thought I'd revive my teapot model in 3D print as a nostalgic tribute to those design days. As usual, I probably forgot a file or two, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask since I make plenty of mistakes. This design was created using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced with Cura 4.4.0, and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 3 Extended and an Ultimaker S5. One final note: I receive no compensation for the design, equipment, parts, or materials used in this model.
