Boooooooook :D
Added 2024-09-26 16:11:41 +0000 UTCAaaand its done :D
Winifred Sanderson's Spellbook from the iconic movie Hocus Pocus is ready for printing :)
I'm sure you will have lots of fun with this one, plus it will be used across multiple props, plus there's aloooot inside, so lets recap it all :D :
- 1:1 scale stl files for eye animatronics mechanism and the book
- 1:1 scale 3mf files for eye animatronics mechanism and the book
- small scale resin print fully combined version ( + a hole cutout for pendant version)
- build guide for 3d printed parts
- open source arduino code for eye animatronics and motion detection sensor
- open source arduino code for a version without the sensor
- hidden ON/OFF switch
- easy access to electronics
- parts list and links to products
- schematics on how to wire everything up
- Step by step video on how to assemble the eye animatronics ( 12 min long )
- optional 3d printable eye or link to realistic eye for purchase
The book is rather huge, im printing it now, can't wait to put it all together but it all works very nicely
CODE LOGIC:
- starts animatronics
- does random movements from one of 5 sets of movements
- closes eyelids
- waits 7 second for motion sensor to be activated
- upon detected motion eye animatronics starts again
- this process is repeated until you turn it off
Lets fire up our printers and start making some halloween props :D
Available to all "we are makers" tier members :)

depending on your patroen status - this is avialable to “we are makers” tier members - the moment you joined an automated email is sent to your email inbox with all the links ( this is in the September folder) , its the first message you get from patreon - it has welcome models, lat month projects and this months projects. so it should be in your email inbox allready :) if you still wont be able to find it, let me know :)

2024-10-13 14:34:12 +0000 UTCThank you, I did not find it in the STL folder, but copied it from one of the other builds. (5x5 pin.stl). Might just be my issue, but good to go now!
RedSoxRobbe
2024-10-12 15:57:48 +0000 UTCIn the "stl" folder there sre 5x5 pins. They are used across all my projects so you can print like 100 of them as you will ise it. The plate is empty on purpose to emphasize that there is more stuff in the "stl" folders than in 3mf - there always is. The pins are also mentoned in the pdf build guide - page 4 They are are not the same size or depth as the magnets - magnets are 8 mm, pins are 5 You need the front sode with magnets open to acess electronics anything else can be glued more and reinforced hower you see fit to make it stronger :) as kong as the front plate remains removeable :) Feel free to share thr finished one , once done :) Also, i just posted on IG the assembly video :) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBAGkTkqyes/?igsh=ZDk4bHN3N2tjaTJk

2024-10-12 08:05:14 +0000 UTCI'm just curious about the holes in the book-back files (they're cooking in the printer now!). Are these meant for pins to align? They also look the same size as the magnets, but I imagine gluing the two back pieces (and two front) would be more solid. I didn't see any printable pins; they were not mentioned in the build files (plate 3 is empty - perhaps this was meant for it?). Thanks again for a great build. My wife will love it as our "Hallowversary Gift" this year! Should have it done and ready for airbrushing by next week!

2024-10-06 21:40:26 +0000 UTCI just upgraded my membership level to to "We Are Makers". How do I go about downloading the files for this? Thanks!
Cory Sullivan
2024-10-06 19:46:31 +0000 UTCWich part is the charm ? The orientation that is included in the 3mf is how im printing everything and so far it all turned out great. Ive also seen in FB group quite a few prints. Feel free to drop me a mesasage if you have print issues, but i would first advise to check out the included 3mf and just copy print orientation
Marko Makaj
2024-10-03 21:28:55 +0000 UTCAny recommendations on orientation for the charm? Trying to print it off again a 2nd time now. The 1st one let go in the last 10 minutes or so. However, the bottom looked pretty bad. Adding supports now, but not sure if it’ll fix it. Currently I’m printing it upside down from the top of the book as the bottom since it was shown as a flat surface.

2024-10-03 21:05:32 +0000 UTCthose on the side are holes for 5x5 pins :)
Marko Makaj
2024-10-03 18:48:05 +0000 UTCAnother one, Marco. I printed the split parts. To join the book covers, I see some holes in the middle. Is this the same pin part that is used for the eye?

2024-10-03 17:23:21 +0000 UTCThanks dude
Víctor García Castañeda
2024-09-30 18:55:17 +0000 UTCthats right
Marko Makaj
2024-09-30 18:40:58 +0000 UTCJust seen it. It is 8x2 right?
Víctor García Castañeda
2024-09-30 18:13:15 +0000 UTCSorry, Marco. I don't know if I miss it. What measures are the magnets used?
Víctor García Castañeda
2024-09-30 18:12:06 +0000 UTCOh- I hadn’t realized they were a purchased part! Ok!
Ryan
2024-09-28 18:28:14 +0000 UTCOkey Dokey. I'll look for some. I'm pretty sure I have both 90 degree and 360 degree ones. I'll find some 180 degree ones. Thanks.
Michael J Coar Jr
2024-09-28 18:01:13 +0000 UTCthank you so much :) hope you will like upcoming stuff as well :)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-28 17:58:17 +0000 UTCi’ll check the link, buti shared the link i ordered it from and mine are 180 . the 360 will not work, as 360 is not positional, it can just rotate endlessly, and does not “remember” the positions, so you need the 180 one … use mg90s servo ( 90s name for the strength not degree of rotation- just in case) , but you can buy any 180 mg90s sevo’s , they will work ,but they have to be 180
Marko Makaj
2024-09-28 17:58:00 +0000 UTCI can add those , but i always worry that printed ones will nto be as good as 'realiaroc ones" with gloss we can buy, bit i know there are many talented artists iut there so why not :)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-28 07:52:19 +0000 UTCAs a special request- any possibility of a vertical-slit “cat eye”?
Ryan
2024-09-28 00:19:13 +0000 UTCThanks Marko! I appreciate ya!
J K
2024-09-27 00:12:16 +0000 UTCHi, I'm starting the prints now But the link you have for the servo says it's no longer in stock. And while your parts list says it's 180 degrees, the link you provided says it's 90 degrees. Is 90 degrees what's actually required? I have a couple of 360 degree servos the same size. Will those work?
Michael J Coar Jr
2024-09-26 23:21:47 +0000 UTCThis has been a wish list build of mine for years ... I was on the fence about joining when I first discovered the patreon then I saw the book and I was in!

2024-09-26 23:14:15 +0000 UTCyes sir :D haha
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 21:56:17 +0000 UTCim sure she will love it :D its such a cool and huge project :D haha

Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 21:55:47 +0000 UTCnot a problem at all, we all started somewhre, whatever you need, dont hesitate to ask :)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 21:55:42 +0000 UTCi do plan to add quite a few more for halloween ;) ;)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 21:54:53 +0000 UTChappy to hear, cant wait to see it :)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 21:54:34 +0000 UTCthank you so much, makes me very happy to hear that :)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 21:54:15 +0000 UTCoh there will be more for sure :)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 21:54:04 +0000 UTCI don’t think I’ll print the book out but the eye parts I definitely will. Would love to see this in a mimic chest, or the book of the dead, beholder, of mad eye moody’s patch from Harry Potter.

2024-09-26 17:00:00 +0000 UTCOh I see what your saying. Thanks!
branden price
2024-09-26 16:54:45 +0000 UTCone of them has a cut thru the middle - that means the "eye" where the animatronics wil have a cut, and i don tlike that, while the other has the "eye" where the animatronics goes, cut out, so you have the same split into 2 parts, but you also have the "eye" portion of the front cover standalone, so its a cleaner print :)
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 16:50:17 +0000 UTCThank you, Marko! Something different and completely unique to play with. Halloween is going to be great :)
Ed_F
2024-09-26 16:49:13 +0000 UTCI think I miss wrote my question. What is the difference between the 2 versions of the front cover
branden price
2024-09-26 16:48:04 +0000 UTCas long as the pin layout is the same, any of it should work
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 16:47:17 +0000 UTCfront part is too big, so its split into 2 parts - A and B
Marko Makaj
2024-09-26 16:46:47 +0000 UTChaha no worries :) i will be posting more videos, its a bit of an advanced projects, but there is allreay a video on how to put it all together :)

2024-09-26 16:26:18 +0000 UTCIs there a BOM for the animatronic eye?
John H.
2024-09-26 16:18:18 +0000 UTCNice! As soon as my handles for the katanas are done today I’ll start on this. My wife really wants one. I’ll try to surprise her with it for Halloween:) as always, you’re the man
