Information

      It is a Halloween-themed mechanical box, entirely designed to be made of laser-cut wood. A crank drives toothed wheels and then a crossmember, on which several cams are placed. As they turn, these cams move three Halloween characters that appear above the box. 

With this system, the mechanisms are visible and understandable: gears, rotation, cams and movement of the miniatures. The objective was to create an object that was both playful, decorative and truly mechanical, where a simple rotation of the crank triggers several movements.

  • Insert the crossbar into the Ø22 mm hole in the left wall.
  • Feed it through the entire box.

  • The three cams must be distributed along the length of the crossmember.

Install the top tray and the figures

  • Put the upper tray.
  • Position each figure exactly above its cam and the figure holders with 3  x 10mm M3 screws.
  • The leg of each figure must remain free: it must not be attached to the cam.
  • The bottom of the leg/pad rests on the cam.
  • As the cam rotates, it gradually lifts the figure and then the figure descends by its weight.
