Description
There are some awesome Alien Facehugger models out there, however, they are all static models. What if you could print a model that could move?! Disturbing to say the least. See it in action here:
The Cyberbrick ecosystem has made this possible. I have modified the original model to accommodate the necessary components by enlarging the mesh and then designing an internal enclosure. This is a work in progress so there will certainly be errors and challenges in this design. I already have an idea to add additional functionality. If you print this, be certain to give constructive feedback.
This model does not include a tail. You can find one outstanding example here:

I would consider printing the tail at ¾ scale to reduce the weight.
The gearboxes I used are published here:

You would need objects 35,36,37,and 38. I would use plenty of grease on the gears and cement the cover on the gearbox.
The clevis attaches to the servo arm with these from Amazon:
You could print or use something else but these are nice.
(I am sorry this is late for Halloween but it was complicated. This may look like a 3D print but its actually a real embryo grown from an egg… See you on a darkened spacecraft.)
