Hummingbird

  NOTE: For some reason, the three .zip files mentioned in the instructins are not appearing for download.  I'll try to get this fixed as soon as possible.   Hummingbird is a hummingbird themed automata I designed for my wife, who smiles from ear to ear while feeding and watching the gathering hummingbirds at our home.  Hopefully it will bring smiles to many more faces. Hummingbird consists of 97 3D printed parts (38 unique parts) and, as I discovered, requires plenty of time and patience to print, assemble and tune. Along with the 3D printed parts, Hummingbird also requires a "uxcell 16mm DC 6V 60RPM Speed Torque Gear Box Electric Motor for Robot" (available from a variety of sources), a 6vdc power source, and four 1/4" or thicker stick on felt or rubber pads (for the base). The file "Images.zip" contains all cad images and photographs included in this model. As usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate
