Feel like a famous inventor and scientist in the incredible Steampunk universe! Build a living beetle from wood and gears. But don't let it get away - you won't catch it if it flies off!
Building and development
In addition to fantasy and Middle Ages, I am also a big fan of steampunk.
The first version of this beetle was made a few years ago and got positive feedback. However, I constructed it from scratch, so it didn't have any features except unique design. On reflection, I decided that it would make a worthy project for IDEAS, but needed to be refined. I removed any "illegal" connections, improved the forewing (Elytra) connection points, changed the design of the legs, and above all, added movable wings. For verification of the structure I built it in LDD.
Features
- * Opening Elytra
- * Wings move when you press the lever
- * Detachable wings
- * Flexible joints on the legs
- * Display stand and tool kit to look after the mechanism
Part count
