This project is an upgraded version of my previous design, a highly compact and robust animatronic eye mechanism which uses 3D printed components and an Arduino microcontroller. If you are able to get hold of servo ball-links and pushrods, and are reasonably competent with 3D printing, this is the eye mechanism project I'd recommend most!

Here's how I build my simplified 3D printed arduino animatronic eye mechanism. This is a good option if you'd like to try out some DIY arduino robotics but don't necessarily have access to certain specialist hobby components, high-quality 3D printing or workshop tools.

In this video, I begin working on a new animatronic eye mechanism using CAD software, a 3D printer and Arduino. I also touch on the paintwork that goes into making realistic eyes.
