The walking skeleton hand works with a wind-up mechanism.
When fully wound, the hand crawls about 30 cm forward.

Update:
The spring and rod from the 4set + spring kit have been updated.
The gap has been slightly increased, and the spring now includes a small bump with a matching slot on the rod. This prevents the spring from rotating and makes the design more universal for both well-tuned and untuned printers.

I have sorted the files into sets, and the set number is marked on the body.
In the tutorial, I also assembled the design step by step according to these sets.

PRINTING AND ASSEMBLING NOTES:

Your printer must be properly calibrated and produce accurate dimensions.
Material choice is important — PLA Basic and PLA Marble work best. Other filaments are too soft, and the spring won’t unwind fully.

! Do not scale the model up or down — any size change will affect the mechanism’s performance!

NO SUPPORT! or glue are needed — all parts snap together easily.

Recommended: 0.2 mm layer height, 20% infill for better strengh.

Happy printing!

My latest project, a reinterpretation of this kinetic sculpture: (youtube.com/watch?v=J3qVvb6TYuU)
Instead of using a motor with an integrated RPM reducer + transmission belt, a series of gears are employed to reduce RPM (down to approximately 30 RPM), along with a standard 3V motor powered by two 1.5-volt batteries.
The 3D model was created using Rhino 5.
The print was made using a Zortrax M300 + ABS and HIPS.

🤖 What Is the Tapping Hand Automata? 🤖

An extraordinary creation that emulates finger movement during moments of waiting. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a fan of fun gadgets, or just looking for an innovative pastime, you're in the right place!

The model is fully 3D printable and only requires a standard 3V DC motor and AAA 1.5-volt batteries
