Tom Servo Remix

This model is a remix of the original by Supinemonkey. I modified some of Tom's parts to make them easier to print, as well as to create a working puppet with moveable mouth and turning head.

The barrel and hoverskirt have large holes to allow insertion of 1/2" PVC pipe. At the top, an approx. 1" section of PVC pipe is glued into a shallow depression at the front of Tom's face and forms his rotating neck. At the bottom, a longer section of PVC is glued in to make a handle. A piece of 3/16" dowel is put into a special wedge insert inside the 1" PVC neck and feeds down through the PVC handle to a wood handle so his head can be rotated. The back of his face can be left unglued, so you can access his mechanism for repairs.

A separate jaw piece is inserted, with a rubber band to make it close, and fishing line is threaded up and over a small 3/16" dowel and then back down to the wood handle to a control ring.

The hoverskirt is hollowed out to save plastic. The arms, shoulder
