The "Magic Chef", A 3D Printed Automata

youmagine

I truly enjoy automata and after viewing the works of automata creators such as positivelycreative, Keith Newstead and Paul Spooner, I decided to attempt to create a series of "illusion" themed automata, the "Magic Chef" being my first. In this automata, a chef presents food to an imaginary customer (the viewer) only to be rejected, whereas the chef lowers the "cloche" styled food dome then raises it to "magically" present yet another food selection. As usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make plenty of mistakes. One final note, I receive no compensation in any form whatsoever for the design, equipment, parts and/or materials used in this model. Designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced using Cura 4.4.1, and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 2+ Extended, and Ultimaker 3 Extended and an Ultimaker S5.
