The file 'Chahakobi Ningyo (Tea Serving Automaton) 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 2.1MB.
This is a Karakuri Ningyo specifically a Chahakobi Ningyo. This is a 16th-19th century automaton used to deliver tea for the Japanese aristocracy back in the Edo era. I have tried to faithfully recreate the design from a few real examples and the diagrams left by the designers of the automatons. I did have to make some concessions to make it printable without any supports. All that is required other than the printed parts are string, rubber-bands, super glue. You can use paperclips as an axle for the front wheel and rod to secure the head but a 28mm rod that I have provided in the STL will work as well. My intention is to make these projects extremely accessible.
///THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS///
Updates are pending
The machine has close to the real functionality as is but at a later date I will add pieces that will turn the front wheel and nod the head.
