Ugears Butterfly

Fascinated by the unique synergy of nature and mechanics, continues to explore the amazing world of automata and presents her newest mechanical pet as a model kit; the butterfly model. The butterfly is not a static standard model, but an animated kinetic image. Each of the details is designed to ensure that it fits its own place and plays its own role in the operation of this excellent mechanism. Equipped with a rubber band motor, the mechanical automaton flutters like a butterfly. Without external power source or batteries.

As with every model in the -family, Butterfly requires no glue or additional tools to be assembled. You build your new model from ready-made parts precisely pre-cut in high-quality and natural plywood panels. With light pressure, the parts easily pop out of the board. Assembly is made up of blocks: initially, the details must be put together to form smaller blocks that in turn form the whole model. The butterfly sits on a flower-shaped platform. The elastic support allows the model to bounce slightly, making movements more realistic. As a result, Butterfly approaches the flower dancing and fluttering.
