If anyone is interested, here's the CAD file: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/afbf7e78d6e345cba6abd5a3/w/94ee413994ba3e68d71ae982/e/23fc476122d7c8e5589ce316

Cool idea! I'm actually thinking about combining it with another project I'm working on and turning it into a tiny photobioreactor for growing oxygen-producing algae on my desk.

After a coat of epoxy and some paint: I really need to work on my painting skills.

Thanks for the images, those definitely helped. Another day of modeling and it's mostly there (shown with the end cap off): And I decided to just throw it in Cura, slice it, and try printing it. It didn't come out too bad: There's a few more greebles to add, then I'll send it off to...

Progress on day 2: This is easily the most complicated thing I've ever drawn in CAD (by an order of magnitude probably) and I'm having a blast! Looks like it's going to be a 12 hour print or so, but I have a friend who may print it on his SLA printer for me. I'm going to scale it so the...

There's not a lot of images of it on the net yet, but it's designed by Guy Davis (http://www.guydavisartworks.com/) and I've found enough to...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. A lot of really good ideas here. This build was intended to be a learning prototype, so HAP-E may get abandoned (awwww) in order to start from scratch with what I've learned so far. I threw together a quick test of the eyebrows, something like Johnny5 had...

Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! ** I think it's just us noobs on this thread however I do have a suggestion: Sparkfun makes a module for $20 that can take sound files on a micro-SD and play specific files when a a button is pressed: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11125
