The first video in my series on how to build my 3D printed animatronic eye mechanisms, this video covers the process for making my realistic eyes. Using 3D printing, painting and casting, anyone can replicate the eyes you see in this video! The next video will cover the 3D printing and assembly of my simple arduino animatronic eye mechanism design.
