The 3D Printed Hummingbird Project

This is a 3D printed project I downloaded from a remix version. I illuminated the flower and the base as an accent and a night light.
I have posted this remix at

The creator of this bird is Greg Zumwalt

I do use some illustrations from Greg’s build documents during this video to give reference..
Greg’s 25mm motor adapter

I printed the parts from GeoDave's remix which are mostly not interchangeable because all threaded parts are different. GeoDave’s post explains why. He provided some nice changes including beveled edges on the gear to ward off affects of elephant foot. GeoDave also added a large selection of SCAD files to make modifications.
You need the parts library from GeoDave

Instructions on assembly are with Greg’s post. Same quantity and variety of parts. I added a couple of parts. Mostly to support the lights and 20mm motor.
Parts used in the LED strip
12V 1Amp power adapter (I use a lot of these so I buy them in multi-packs www.amazon.com...)
12V 4mm LED light string, daylight white ( I used www.amazon.com... )
Barrel Jack (this style www.amazon.com... )
Adjustable Motor Controller www.amazon.com... or like it. Item size: 30*24*15mm This looks the same.. www.amazon.com...
20mm 50RPM motor. They also had a 100RPM in this size I think could be used. www.amazon.com...
For the Dimmer a Capacitive LED switch. Here are some links to some like products. It needs to be 40mm x 10 or smaller. I provide the base with switch center and a clip to hold the board in place.
