Description

PDF

I created this for the request of my son.
The idea and the shape is come from a book (Paper Engineering & Pop-ups For Dummies).
On the page is a photo about a "penguin party". Because there is just a small grayscale photo, I needed to start from scratch.

Turn the handle and the penguins start dance (so.. just jumping, and lifting their wings)

Print instructions

You need to print:

  • 2x body (black)
  • 2x wings (black)
  • 2x eyes (white)
  • 2x front (white)
  • 2x beak (orange)
  • 2x holder (orange)
  • 2x follower
  • 1x box (print on back side)
  • 1x mechanic parts

    Assembly

Penguins

First need to assembly the two penguins:

Holders and the wings

Put the holder (hook pointing outside) into the penguin from bottom.

1, put the holder, 2 put the wing and hook on hook, 3, pull the holder (the wing need to moving up too)

push the second holder. need to pay attention to the directions: the small triangle on the bottom point outside

Push (and glue, if needed) the rest together.

Assembly the box

  • put the follower the small holes from bottom
  • push the longest axis in the hole of the middle.
  • push the two cam each end of the axis (need to be opposed) (glue is needed)
  • push the two short axis to the hole in the box, and in the cam (glue inside the cam if needed)
  • one edge put the small ring
  • another edge build the handle:
    ++ push the axis inside the handle
    ++ push (glue) the axis inside the crank
    ++ push the crank (glue) to the end of cam axis.
    Final assembly

  • glue the follower inside each penguin

  • glue the holders into the holes on the box (the penguins face each other)
