Ever wanted to build your own animatronic? One of those paintings that follows your movement? A taxidermy animal that's a little too life-like?
This is a great place to start.
I've designed these kits myself, and 3D print each one from PLA. The eye can look left or right, up or down, and blink as fast or as slow as you want it to!
You can also run up to 4 eyeballs at once, with fully independent motion, meaning you can do normal movements as well as wink or look cross-eyed whenever you want.

As always, let me know if you have any questions! My goal is to make this the kit I wish I had when I was younger.

Absolutely amazing!!!

Thanks mate, this is amazing work, and very well explained too ! 🙏
-
AMAZING! would love to have a kit with a small joystick to control eye motion
-
I love occasionally returning this. great stuff john!
-
great work John
-
Very nice video and great information thanks for sharing
-
Clever idea
-
Really amazing project! Simple e funcional. Congratulations!

Hey i bought acces to the 3d files and its awsome! The one thing im going to complain about is that the pivot that attaches the frame to the eye is really weak, other then that its good! Also you said buttons are optional how do i control the eyes from my computer
-
Nice
-
This is the coolest thing. I want one on my door :D
-
One thing I forgot to mention: To connect to your arduino, download the 'arduino IDE' software from the Arduino website, and under tools>manage libraries>search 'Adafruit PWM' and click install! That should get you everything you need
-
It’s possible to scale the eye up. I would like to make a single big eye, about the size of a small fist.

Juan,me encanta el proyecto, al final donde podemos encontrar los archivos stl, los comparte con palnos o el kit??? mil gracias
-
I like the compactness of the mech. But...I think it could share an up down servo, because when will the Eyes look in opposing direction. 😎
-
Too bad, then its just another 3d file that i have to print. When it was a kit it was something to look into, but most people dont own a 3d printer that is capable of tight tolerances as this ex-kit has.

Mükemmel 👍

Hi, I am thinking about upscaling the eyeballs for a FNAF head. From my understanding of this video, I could probably use the same wire linkages if I reposition the servos right? I am thinking for the 2 eyelid servos I'll just position it to the most right limit of the eyeballs since the linkages are hooked to the side of the right side of the eyelids, but I might have to move up slightly upwards/downwards depending on where the holes are after upsizing the eyelids. I should be able to reposition the x-axis servo towards the left limit since it's hooked to the left side of the eye, but for the y-axis servo I should keep it centered since it's hooked in the center of the eyeball, right? Not sure if what I said made any sense, but hopefully you can visualize what I said and point out any misconceptions on my part before I try and print everything out. I'd probably just print the original out first and get it working before repurposing it for bigger eyes. Thanks anyway for your detailed tutorial!

Hello, fantastic video, the link in the description unfortunately does not work. Could you send the correct one? Regards

hey john, i connected everything correctly, unfortunately my problem starts with the "eye button blinking"... the two servos move in the opposite direction. in other words, the eyes would always be closed until I press the button, then they open briefly...actually, it should theoretically work the other way around. can you help me what's wrong? Kind regards Jan
