    It's time for the Makers' Secret Santa. This year I'm making a giant animatronic robot Furby for very a special little boy. I used 3D printing, an Arduino and various other electronics, and brightly coloured fabric to make a 'Furby Surprise'. Makers this year are:

The 2005/6 was the only version with voice recognition & well be using a voice recognition module.

    Hey James, I just wanted to drop a "kudos" here for continually disclosing your sponsorships. There is that new hot 3D printing company that is obviously going around and supplying CZcamsrs with tons of equipment so that their printers stay in the spotlight with neither party disclosing the sponsored relationship and it is making the CZcams "maker" community feel scummy. It's ultra nice to come here and hear you be open and honest about your sponsors. Keep up the amazing work.

    Hi , I am a great fan of your channel. I learnt a lot of things and got success in designing & 3d printing. Thanks a lot man. I am working on an odd project in which i wanted to calculate my laser engraving machine (DIY) laser head movement. My thinking is to calculate pulses of x & y stepper driver every fixed interval and calculate its tangent and add up its values till one job completion . As you are an expert of this subject can you suggest to me if it will work or any other method i have to use.

  • @leandrof7881

    Great project! I am just worried with the 3D printing designs. It seems like they need a lot of filament to print. Maybe some modifications could reduce filament quantity and print time, while still providing enough strength.
