Cha Cha Tarantula

This was a project in my first year of DAE where we learned about Arduino and I taught myself some basics of 3D-printing to create a moving creature. The idea was to make some sort of dancing spider to make spiders a bit more cute and hopefully make them a tiny bit less scary in people’s eyes!

First 3D print prototype
Final legs
A mechanism of ropes and a rotating motor which pulled the legs
Cut a body and head out of foam
The mechanism working upside down

Finished in Jun 2023
