As the design was decided I set about 3D modeling the different components of the animatronic. Using Fusion 360 I sketched out a rough version for each of the components so that they can be fabricated.

| The axle mount with mounting holes for the motor and a press fit hole for a bearing at the top. |
 |
| This base of the body that has cut outs for the axle mounts and a central mount for a motor. |
 |
| The rough design of the "cornea" of the eye that will house the lenses. |

| The head of the animatronic. Intentionally simplistic so that weights can be attached for testing. |
To get these models in the real world I took advantage of the university's Epilog M2 40 Laser Cutter. I was able to cut everything out of cardboard and construct a model.
