Hello! Many are now at confusion, yes... Foxy in what form it was - no longer exists, it will be redone in a new way. But in order not to throw away the finished parts, after I spent a lot of time on them, I decided to pay tribute and make the one who actually inspired me - Philomela a mechanical bird.
I will immediately warn you that some of the art or drawings are NOT mine and are used only for an example and a general understanding of what I am doing.
More recently, I discovered an expensive, but very effective method. Paper paste (or papier mache) - is finely cut paper impregnated with a water-based adhesive and then kneaded until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
This paste can be used to fill cavities, molds - after hot drying (in my case on a table lamp), this mixture becomes so hard that I can now process it with a file.
What I did with this hand, before this, clamp it between a vise and start processing part of the joint with a file. I did this trying to make a strong connection between the parts. I inserted the spire, made both holes and covered it completely with paste, let it dry a little, took out the spire and left it to dry completely.
After I processed each part of the arm and slightly improved the connecting part (later I also covered it with paste and dried it), I got a very strong connection.
Now I'm looking for fill shapes to speed up the creation of models and parts for them.
There is a figure less than 20 cm in size, you want to make it close to the original, even parts of it... and you do it.
I couldn’t make the details identical, I had to cheat and simplify, but keep the same functionality.
Instead of a separate movable part to which part of the retractable leg is attached, it has become part of the entire leg.
* First, I made the main part itself, a tube with a cutout and a moving part.
* I picked up a tube of a suitable diameter, made a cut along, substituted a half of a thin tube from the side and fixed it. Repeated the same on the other side.
* Part of the leg slides along the edges of these tubes, at the bottom the edges of these tubes are clogged, and thanks to the cutout in the leg, part of the leg bends and the movable part slides up along the tubes.
I couldn't do it without papier mache! Important parts are made using this technique.
These are the details of the knee. I decided to slightly deviate from the original and try something new.
Was it necessary? No.
Why I did this? Because I can.
Half of the gear as the base for the knee and the small gear moves with the tilt of the leg.
On the left - this is what I could limit myself to, and on the right - this is what I ended up with:
Here is a little more detail, it has a very complex mechanism in the reed. I decided to do something similar but not quite, in view of the complexity of the detail itself.
That's how I started to gradually create this mechanism:
And finally, what the leg itself looks like (so far without a foot)
This is all I can show for now. Yes, I rarely make posts, it's still my hobby, I don't get paid for it)
There is not always time for this, I had an operation last month and put a prosthesis on the hip joint, but everything is already fine with me and so far I walk with crutches.
Thanks everyone and see you soon!
