Kinetic Facade Prototype (Academics)
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
Description:
Greetings to the freelancer community! I'm currently engaged in an architecture research thesis focusing on kinetic facades and am seeking a skilled professional to bring my vision to life. I've successfully implemented Arduino code and sensors for flap movement using a single servo motor. However, I'm facing a challenge with the mechanical design to achieve the desired flap movement.
Project Overview:
I am looking for a skilled individual with expertise in mechanical design and 3D printing to collaborate on the development of a small-scale kinetic facade prototype. The inspiration comes from the mesmerizing kinetic wall at Casa Seat, specifically the unique flap movement demonstrated in the video linked below:

If you observe closely around the 0:20 mark, there's a motor visible, possibly a brushless motor based on my reading of the description. Although I suspect it's custom-made, I aim to replicate this motion using a servo motor with a 180-degree rotation capability. I've provided the link to the servo motor below. My goal is to create a small-scale prototype.

Requirements:
Design a 3D-printable linkage mechanism that translates the servo motor's rotation into the desired flap movement.
Create a detailed 3D model of the prototype components suitable for 3D printing.
Optimize the design for structural integrity and 3D printing feasibility.
Assist in the selection of appropriate 3D printing materials.
Provide guidance on the assembly of the 3D-printed prototype.
