Laputa Robot - Mechanical Music box

thingiverse

Hi folks, I am a fan of the Japan animation, “Castle in the Sky” or "Laputa". I love the theme song, the robot & the glider. I got a Sankyo Laputa music unit by chance and create this robot for everyone who love this movie. You can also buy the music unit in link below. https://youtu.be/YKsF5OwCUi8 https://youtu.be/bH8VDT2pTqc https://youtu.be/-rCQcfcLpwU The robot was powered by the Sankyo unit & have 2 modes of rotation:- 1. Rotate the head alone OR 2. Rotate the glider around. (You will need the stand-inner over the nut.) There are also 2 speeds provided with 2 different sets of gears:- 1. If you were going to have the robot head alone, I would suggest to use low speed gears. 2. If you were going to have the glider turning the head, I would suggest the high speed gears. Here are the parts you needed:- - M6x50mm screw x1 - M6 Nut x1 - Sankyo Laputa music unit x1 - Dia2x10mm shaft x4 - (Of course all the printed parts) How to curve the wings of the glider:- 1. Forming tools are provided. So, print it out. 2. Following the diagrams 3. Trap wing in tools 4. Dip it in 70 degC hot water for a few seconds 5. Close the tools until the wing softened. 6. Cool it down in cold water and here you are! Where to buy? https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=574588581030&spm=a1z09.2.0.0.75132e8dN1L6V7&_u=12bdisfs78b2&skuId=3761519336729
