Ornithopter Frame (Rubber Band Powered) by Bioluminescence. A first pass attempt at printing the frame of a small, toy, rubber-band powered flapping flying machine.

Ornithopter Frame (Rubber Band Powered) by Bioluminescence

This small ornithopter is based on the tutorials I've seen for wooden ornithopters on Instructables, most particularly on the tutorial by Captain Molo instructables.com/id/Ornithopter/ Known IssuesPlease note, this is WIP - mostly because I couldn't get it to reliably fly. It prints - it assembles - it flaps in your hands. But when I try to fly it, it manages only a few flaps before stalling. I suspect that wobbly axles are losing me most of the rubber-band power, but it could be anything at this point. Ornithopter. How About Orange. It's the last stiffened fabric project and then I'm moving on!

How About Orange

I wanted to try an oversized, realistic fabric rose just for fun. Make a template with six petals. I traced around a dinner plate and a small bowl on the back of some ugly wrapping paper. (Tip: if the paper is too curly, iron it flat and your life will be better.) I've included my feet so you can admire my cute socks. Prepare some stiffened fabric. Using the template, cut three flower shapes from the prepared fabric. In the first flower, cut a slit along one of the fold lines to the center. On each flower, overlap the two petals adjacent to the slit and secure with a little glue. While they're drying, curl the double-petal and single-petal cutouts. Heat the remaining flower petals one at a time with your iron and curl the edges back.

At this point I stacked the pieces to see if they looked nice. So I cut off the point. I hot glued the petals together at the base, then added a felt circle to hide the trimmed ends. Mecha.

Basically, the rod on the cam move up and down whem it stand up. But turn is not only up and down to move side.

A metal rod is no problem, but a wood rod weak of twist. When use a metal rod, a wood receiver is shaved. 私は上図のようにアームにコロをつけて使います 回転方向は決められますがカムの急な変化を拾えます、またテコの原理で動きを大きくできます ただし、コロは直線運動しません、カムの変化により受けの場所も変化します コロを付けない場合. 6 Ways to Reuse Plastic Bottles.
