Kinetic Sculpture Progress
My initial mask was mostly functional. I made it out of wire as that was the easiest to construct small components out of, the problem I found was that it was easy to warp and caught easily. The central eye piece worked well and I was able to create a double axis rotation, I figured I can have one servo in on the outside of the frame for one axis and the other inside the actual eye for the other axis. The second effect I want is a bloom effect similar to an umbrella, This would work by having them pivot on a ring and then a second ring would move up and down to push the arms up and down. This would likely use a cam with an elastic pulling the arm down against it however I'm looking at more efficient ways such using a drive arm or a gear rail. I also have to consider that I likely will need to raise 2 sides of the ring at the same time which will take 2 motors or else the imperfect fit will cause one side to droop as the driver has no leverage. This here is my 3D...
