My biggest 3D printing project: bender from futurama.
The goal was to create a movable figure.
Bender can:
-move his arms up and down
-Turn his head
-Move eyes
-Move mouth
-Audio output (voice generation with microphython)
-integrated web server for control
Started in 2019, inside are two 9g Servos for the eyes, one servo for the mouth, one servo each for the arms. The servos are connected to a PCA9685 board, controlled by an ESP8266 D1.
The ESP also controls a MicroPython board (http://micropython.org/) that handles the audio output (audio skin) and mouth control.

There is puppet wire in the arms so that you can shape them.
