Busy week and a lot done….


So the CAD assembled items just to look at lol.



I redid the main bracket to include the opening in the base, in the next picture I added some fake lower items for the eye arms, I also added a groove to give the impression that the two vertical side pieces were separate items.



I also added the top inset pieces on the upper sides. These you can see on freeze framings from the deleted scene. I also added a hole behind the base slot (picture no2), as in the screen grabs it looks like there’s a bolt hanging down, so added the hole as to not forget later.

This next picture I took before above new base was printed.


I had an idea on how to make the head move, but didn’t want to have the servo exposed, so I did some printing for a servo mount and then surgically implanted it into the side of the eye.

I don’t have the pictures on my phone still, but the development idea led to the next iteration of the eye build…..plus printing of the support arm and servo horn adapter.


I’ve a short video of manually moving this with a servo fitted in place, not had chance to apply power to test strength of standard servo, but may need to go with a more heavy duty one.

Finally this week I’ve been drawing up the main mast in 3D to act as covers for the internal frame. I’ve sectioned it up to be printable in its sections.


So far this is the full assembly.
