Bird Automaton
This mechanical bird automaton is completely 3D printed and requires no assembly. Rotation of the crank is transformed into vertical motion by a scotch yoke mechanism which in turn makes the body of the bird go up and down. At the same time, links are connected to each of the wings, resulting in a lifelike movement.
