  • A quick look at the new 3D printed animatronic eye mechanisms I've built. Starting in the next few weeks, I'll be releasing a series of videos showing you how to use 3D printing and arduino microcontrollers to build my eye mechanisms as well as a controller and realistic eyes.
    Contact: enquiries@willcogley.com

    I also talk about the state of other ongoing projects you might have seen on my channel.

    You should make these (eyes) with embedded cameras and motion tracking for security systems.

    I just lost my sheeeet
    I've wanted to explore eye mechanisms for quite some time, but a lot of the stuff I wanted to watch/follow were stuff that belong to university/paywall. so it was really cool to see this and to hear you are making parts of it open for other users. I'll definitely be giving it some serious attention in the near future. Something like this is better to protect with a trademark (the logo) than it is to patent it (at least according to the lawers I have been talking to for my own projects) so it's cool to see you trying to implement a logo.

    hey, i just want to say thank you, because i'm doing a 3D printed hand in the school (im 18), i've been working on that the all year, and you gave me some ideas for the mechanisms, in this days i will be finishing the printing and the Arduino sketch, and yeah, the wrist took me a while, but i think it will work. Goodbye, and let's finish those projects!

And I really hope that people find it in the hearts to donate to you after all your hard work you’ve put into it. If you get some cameras in them eyes and a red eye. You know where this is goin. Good job my friend

    Finally, someone with the same mindset as me. Good job on the hand, I have some orthographic projections of something extremely similar, I never got to the project but the idea was to make a skeletal hand, operated via wire by servos in the arm. Also, the user would wear a glove with padding on the inside to protect it and also to make it appear more natural in public. Keep it up

    Quite interesting that I was trying to make eyes that move realistically and have eyelids that accompany the eyes as in real life, but in 3D and without any reseach on how to do it, just photo, video and anatomical references, and I came to the same solution for the eyelid motion as you did:
    just make the skin around the eyes weighted gradually from 1 to 0 from the center to the outskirts (or in your case simple shell in the form of a quarter of a sphere that have both hinges on the "points") rotate on an axis fixed on the eye's center that goes through left-right poles of the eye. Rotates up and down only, with the eyes, independent of the blinking motion, but have a limiter to rotate half as much as the eye. Just 2 controls, one blink other move the eye, yet it's so realistic. Simple but powerful
