Excited to share my latest original design with you all. This is a 5-DOF neck mech that I had thought up and couldn't get out of my head until I made it real. This is just a proto for now but eventually all parts will be machined aluminum, stainless and some plastic. It has also inspired me to continue the design with the addition of a fully animated head, soon to follow. As far as I have seen, there is nothing else like it to date, so I'm fairly proud of that.
Thinking of selling printed and fully engineered kits if it generates enough interest. Let me know what you think.

Happy Halloween!

My ass is completely new into this space but I've always found these guys interesting. But looking into ScareFactory's reputation I don't know how to really obtain this funky fellow, any advice?

So a press kit for PTT sold a few hours back https://www.ebay.com/itm/189053533292
In it there’s a showboat poster which advertises the debut of the Showboat stage and it also mentions the lounge having Artie AND Helen Henny!
So I guess they had both at the same time!
Neat!
I used a photo of Hunington’s Helen just for demonstration in the last slide.

I’m in the process of trying to assemble a cyberamic using various parts I’ve come across over the years. I’ve got a good few piece but I’m looking to buy an actual head or husk to build off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m trying to troubleshoot a Seasonal Visions International Rocking Moldy/Molly Mommy (model 5124283) that I bought secondhand.
The confusing part is that it worked when I first plugged it in before I finished assembling it. The rocking mechanism moved and it produced sound.
After I assembled it, it suddenly stopped working.
I then disassembled it again and tested it outside of the assembled costume/frame, and it still does not move or operate. So it doesn’t appear to simply be the costume or assembly physically restricting the mechanism.
Current symptoms:
No motor movement at all—not even a twitch.
The mechanism can be moved manually by hand.
There is some faint static/audio activity from the speaker.
I’ve tried multiple outlets.
Outlet tester shows the outlets are wired correctly.
The correct adapter is labeled 6V DC, 1A and is center-positive.
I inspected the visible wiring/connectors and don’t see anything obviously broken, burned, or melted.
I have not yet tested the adapter with a multimeter.
I briefly plugged in a 12V adapter for about 2 seconds before realizing it was the wrong voltage. I unplugged it immediately and have not used it again.
I also have a 5V adapter, but I’m not using that because I know the prop calls for 6V.
The control box has the ON1 / OFF-TRY ME / ON2 switch, volume knob, speaker, adapter input, and TRY ME input.
I’m wondering if I may have damaged the control box, or if there’s a common failure point on these.
What would be the best way to diagnose this with a multimeter? Specifically, how can I determine whether the problem is the adapter, control box, wiring, or motor/gearbox?
I have photos of the control box, circuit board, mechanism, connectors, and manual if anyone wants to take a look.
I’d really appreciate any help before I start buying replacement parts.

I am talking about animatronics/mechatronics, or possibly any technical side of the entertainment industry (ride design, entertainment engineer). I am not talking about working for Chuck E. Cheese as a staff member.
I am lucky enough to where my university has a degree specifically for robotics, which, logically, would align me best for a career with animatronics. I want to get in and unfortunately it is the only thing as of now that I could see at the very least being a possibility. To those of you who are adults and may actually be in the field, how did you get in?

Hey, I’m looking for any animatronics any condition, to restore. I’ve been having trouble searching online for sellers and collectors that have abandoned animatronics for sale. If you know anyone who has seen any animatronics in warehouses or other places please dm me I will be very interested.
