Such beautiful engineering as always! Enjoying the process, thanks for letting us look over your shoulder. Can't wait to pick up few when it's all done.
The only downside I can think of is acrylic is probably more brittle than wood, but not too significantly. I wonder about wood rubbing against itself over time, or expanding from moisture. The acrylic seems to be a more stable and consistent material to me. Plus it looks nice (once you actually take the brown paper off).

Thanks Paul! Glad you’re following along!
Pretty sweet
Thanks!
Awesome project! what's the status? are you still going to be making this?
Still happening!
@@jasperjanderson Awesome, can't wait to see it!
Hello, what is the latest for this kit?
Working on some upgrades to a couple of parts. I will have an update video to show the latest version
I’m doing a pirate themed display in September so I definitely need this one. Can’t wait
Perfect!
This looks fantastic!
Thanks!
Yo Ho a Parrots life for me! This is great Jasper.
squaaaawk! Thanks!

Haha, you ask, I listen!
How does the laser cutting on acyrlic do vs wood? I would imagine the acrylic pieces are faster to cut but are there any downsides vs wood?

Hi Japer - Great work (as always) - Looking forward to this kit - Any updates on availability?
Thanks Scott. Hopefully in the next couple of months. Be sure to sign up for the email list on the site if you want to get one.
Will there be an owl version of this one / the raven animatronic soon ? Case i would love that !!❤
No plans for an owl currently, but that would be fun!
I wonder if an Owl would be able to use the existing mechanics and swap out the head and body with a different 3D printed model
Comparing features and prices, it's clear that OMTech needs to reevaluate its product positioning in the market.
I haven’t researched what’s out there recently. What do you see as the top contenders currently?
