A handcarved marionette with a second set of internal rigging controlled by a embedded 9 gram servo. The three servo lines are run as black wires blending in with the other puppet strings to a battery powered microcontroller at the end of the control stick.

Do we desire our tools to be sentient so that they would serve us more intelligently?

The housing was modeled in Fusion360 and printed on a Ultimaker S5. It came out nicely but I did encounter a problem with space as I didn't give as much allowance to the quarter inch jacks, causing the protoboard to be mounted askew and in turn leading to the 18650 battery going in sideways. All contacts were safe and insulated so I wasn't too worried as if I moved forward with this project a PCB would be first on the list.
