🐔 Kinetic Chicken Box Automaton
A delightful mechanical toy that brings gear mechanisms to life
Discover the magic of mechanical motion with this charming chicken automaton. As you turn the crank, watch gears transform rotary motion into the chicken's playful bobbing action - a perfect demonstration of cams and followers in mechanical design.
This kit combines woodcraft with fundamental engineering principles. The clever asymmetric cam creates non-linear movement from circular rotation, while the layered construction showcases precision slot-and-tab joinery. An ideal project for makers wanting to explore automata without complex tools.
❗️ IMPORTANT
This is a digital product containing laser-cut files; no physical item will be shipped. You'll receive instant access to build your own automaton.
