Hi Oliver...thanks for taking the time to record this. I really admire those of you that have the skills and patience to video their automata builds. So much can be learned from these videos. I also enjoyed seeing the PU molds and how you use them. And the long teeth on the pinwheel gear are genius. Your shop seems multi-disciplined and well equipped.

Magnífico trabalho. Que precisão dos movimentos!

[kashishv]

hey !, loved your video...but i was curious, what software do you use to model the movements (the cams / levers), im trying to make one for my college project, thanks (anyone can answer if they have any idea .), thanks !

[stefanograndi]

It would be nice if you could show how you get the movement design, that is, how you get it on the computer, with what program you get these movements.

Oliver, Yes, I am an aspiring automaton maker, and I love this kind of video. However, despite calling this "design and build", I feel like you left out a lot of the important design process. You seemed to have all the mechanicals already planned out and just needing final adjustments (like the cams). I would like to see more if the initial process of design, like deciding how many moving parts, how they would be activated, how to choose the timing, knowing how many gear teeth to use here and there, etc. Thanks.

Hi! I love your video, so amazing! I'm an enthusiastic of automaton! I wonder what kind of weld you used in 6:11. Is tin wire for circuits or another one?. Greetings from chile!

Hi, I really enjoyed watching your series of videos about making your automata. I thinking I may have to use these videos to show some of the students I teach how to make more complex automata - we make very simple automata! I was intrigued mould you made for your resin character, is this something you have designed and manufactured yourself? It made me think of all of the clocks etc... that students turn round and say I want a footballer, dancer etc.. and wondered if I could make something similar to make a generic character they could use in school.
