Mechanism Breakdown: Slappy Contraption

Mechanism Breakdown: Slappy Sculpture
•••
I decided to challenge myself and get the whole mechanism working off of a single motor. The biggest challenge was the activation lever- without it, the arm would kind of skip forward at the end of the tooth profile of the charge-up gear due to the force of the elastic. Adding the lever gave the charge-up gear a second to disengage, before a screw head activated the lever that released the arm. This mechanism was the result of a one-step-at-a-time approach with a few iterations to get it just right!

Adding googley eyes would make an even more dramatic effect and would just be hilarious 🤣

What shore rating is that silicone? Thanks

[@colin310]

What the best way to power a 12v servo like that? At home and on the go?

[@lyriccrown]

Why do you use a stepper motor instead of like a brushless or brushed Dd motor?

[@Engineezy]

So I can use silent drivers!

I think he bust just to make the sculpture

[@jojo_da_poe]

LMAO THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING THAT LIQUID SILICONE LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING ELSE

We need a 10 hour version of these guys just slapping each other.

[@RanDom-if2ee]

My guy, you are brilliant

[@Rocky-917]

Glorious. Your sculptures are inspiring.

[@Engineezy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@CharlieDeer]

Inspiring you to do what?

[@GaneshKumar-bt2pe]

Now design the heads to look like Will Smith and Chris Rock.

[@blue-uv4mh]

Now we need a fanfic about why they are forced to fight and that they secretly love each other despite what they are built to do.

[@ProJIC-k1p]

Ridiculously entertaining

[@RealSnail3D]

Lol I saw the tag that says ‘no context’ 😂 😆

[@Engineezy]

😅😅

[@JudeCrossland]

1 questions will you make that obstacle course have more levels (from the split-flap scoreboard) Edit: you did say you were going to do it

[@poorandokhtramedani9630]

I think they should be a little further apart because it’s actually not slapping with the palm of the hand

[@randomtux1234]

its actually a slap to the EAR, not the face

[@thoperSought]

that's excellent

[@Engineezy]

Thank you!!

[@thoperSought]

​@@Engineezy I really felt this one, so it was doubly interesting to see how it works

[@aloxoblack]

Dude's playing create in real life

[@keenansmith82]

Any chance making a clear plastic gear box to put in fluid to maintain better?

[@Toxtoxer]

For some reason this short felt very long to me

[@darrellmckelvie]

It’s like playing sock-em-bop-em robots with my older brother. Guess which one I am

[@Engineezy]

One of them for sure!
