Ratchet and Clank cosplay
Clank
I wanted to do something similar to what Sunday Slays Cosplay did (YouTube). Her work was a huge inspiration, wouldn't do it if I didn't see her cosplay videos, very motivational.
Decided not to do animatronics (Clanks head tilting and turning) because of time constraints and also because I knew I wouldn't be able to make it durable enough - I would worry all the time about it breaking while on my back, when
walking around the convention.
No animatronics here either. The eyes are basically two small round IPS displays that are playing a video on a loop. They're connected both by USB (for power delivery, and also if you'd like to use them as
touch displays but that's irrelevant for this project) and HDMI for video. Video output is provided by RaspberryPi 4 inside Clanks body.
On top of those displays I glued two lenses I've created in a CAD software and ordered prints from PCBWay - they offer clean resin prints. They fitted perfectly in the holes - I didn't have to do any additional mounts for them to hold inside.
