Supplies

Software I used:

Arduino - for building the code

Tinkercad - for designing 3D models (heart and spikes) for 3D printing

Ultimaker Cura - for 3D printing

 

Hardware I used:

Elegoo Mega 2560

6 servos - 4 are used to move the eyes, 1 is used for the mouth, 1 is used for the spikes and acts like liner gear

2 strips LED - used on the brain

6 red LEDs - 2 are inserted inside the heart, 4 are inserted inside the spikes. 

 

Materials:

1 spool Transparent filament - for the 3D printing

2 ping pong balls - used for the eyes

2 pupils - glued on the ping pong balls

2 Classic Worbla Scrap sheets - used for the face

2 black Worbla Scrap sheets - used for the spikes and the little box of the heart

1 transparent Worbla Scrap sheet - used in the little box that contains the heart

Fishing wires - used in the mouth to control the movement from the servo

Screws - used on the servos for support and used within the mouth to support the fishing wire that controls the movement 

Conductive tape - used to connect wires instead of soldering because the Maker Space, where the soldering station is, was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Jumper wires - used for connection

1 teeth model

Wire spool - used to create the front shape of the brain (red and black wires)

Card boards

Gears - used to move the spikes

Hot glue

Acrylic colors (red, black, and brown)
