IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A PAIR OF EYES:
Ever wanted to build your own animatronic? One of those paintings that follows your movement? A taxidermy animal that's a little too life-like?
This is a great place to start, and learn a thing or two on the way.
I've designed these kits myself, and 3D print each one from PLA and controlled with an Arduino UNO. The eye can look left or right, up or down, and blink as fast or as slow as you want it to! You can control it yourself, set it to run a routine, or have it respond to certain triggers like timers or motion sensors.
You can also run up to 4 eyeballs at once, with fully independent motion, meaning you can do normal movements as well as wink or look cross-eyed whenever you want.
These kits are homemade, and there are some tricky bits, so I make sure to include extras of the pieces that I broke when I was designing this thing in the first place.

What you get:
- 3D printed parts (2 set of eyelids, eyeball sockets, eye pivots, servo frames, frame mounting feet, eye mounting tool, wire bending jig, and some spares just in case you break anything!)
- 8x SG90 servos
- 1x Electronics breadboard w/ jumper cables
- 4x pushbutton switches
- 4x cable ties
- All necessary hardware (screws, etc)
What you can choose:
- You decide: What color eyeball
- You decide: Include all electronics needed to build the kit or source them yourself.
What you will need to find yourself:
- Small Phillips (+) head screwdriver
- Small Flat (-) head screwdriver
- A hot glue gun, or similar adhesive
- Optional: External power supply for microcontroller
As always, let me know if you have any questions! My goal is to make this the kit I wish I had when I was younger.
