Flying Bat Automata

In line with the Halloween theme, I have designed a bat automata that flaps its wings when you turn the handle. All parts are printed with easy snap-in-place assembly. Model video: PrintingI have attached two .3mf files, one of which requires supports (Bed1_NeedsSupports) and the other that doesn't (Bed2_NoSupports). Alternatively you can print using the STLs, noting that each part is unique and needs to be printed once except Clip_A_x6 which needs six copies. However, you will have to rotate parts from their original orientation - I highly recommend just using the two .3mf files. I printed using the standard profile, just removing some unnecessary supports. AssemblyThe link to the assembly video is attached below. Note that the wings two main gears need to be aligned symmetrically before the case is closed. Just be observant when putting together wing linkages to make sure you've got the correct side and orientation - they look similar but have different end bits. Disassembly is possi
