Big Drinking Bird
Intro: Big Drinking Bird
This is a large drinking bird--made from a 3d scanned normal bird.
STEP 1:
Start by painting the glass white on a normal drinking bird. Turn him on his head and scan. The hat is too thin to scan well, so I'll design a hat.
STEP 2:
Print the body and head, enlarged about 350%.
STEP 3:
Print the hat and axle. Files are available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:177456
STEP 4:
Secure the bird's body using a screw (back side). Slide the axle over the tube, then secure the head with a screw.
STEP 5:
Take a 1" x 2" by four feet long piece of oak and drill a 1 1/8" diameter hole in the center. Cut the board in half through the center of the hole.
STEP 6:
Paint the "legs" your favorite color.
STEP 7:
Design a foot in clay and scan it.
STEP 8:
Merge the scanned foot with a designed base (I merge the STL files in TinkerCad).
STEP 9:
Slide the legs into the base.
STEP 10:
Glue googly eyes onto the head. Attach the hat by melting it to the head with a soldering iron (use good ventilation or outside).
Set the bird assembly onto the legs.
Give the bird a push every time you walk by--it will bob for about a minute.

Why didn't you go ahead and use the bulb and tubes filled with methylene chloride for the continuous bobbing effect?
