I'm gonna try to 3D print a trigger based on yours. Thanks for the tutorial!

Any suggestions for someone that doesn’t have access to a full workshop with heavy duty power tools? Would like to make a simple ear raising mech for a puppet

Hi Berry, sorry I missed this. If you don't have many tools or a shop I would suggest starting with a couple of inexpensive tools you could like a coping saw and some type of small drill. I don't think you need a big shop and lots of fancy tools to make this stuff. I have those things so I use them but it's not the tools it's the crafter that gets the job done. I hope this helps.
