Eyeballs for special effects, Halloween, or animatronics really cheap.

Step 10 Afterthoughts and Ideas

 Since one of my goals is animatronics I decided to try something.  I took one of the more poorly glued eyes apart and checked to see how my pen cam web cam would fit for robotic vision.  With proper consideration of space and mounting I think its doable.

Looking back I believe I might try to do the cornea before I am done with the white paint in order to delete an extra painting step.

I got tired of holding and hand sanding the eyes so I made a couple of tools to make life easier.  The solution I came up with for sanding is potentially very dangerous especially if one were to allow drill speeds to get very fast.

I can't warn anyone enough to have good ventilation while doing this, heated plastic, paint and nail polish fumes will make you sick after a while and I don't know about you folks but I need all the brain cells I have left.

Good luck, good ibling and be safe
