Ugears continues to explore the mesmerizing blend of nature and mechanics, presenting the Butterfly model, its latest mechanical marvel. This Butterfly is more than just a static model; it's an animated kinetic sculpture, each detail playing a vital role in its mesmerizing movements.
Powered by a rubber-band motor, this mechanical automaton replicates the graceful flutter of a butterfly without the need for external power sources or batteries. Like all Ugears models, The Butterfly requires no glue or additional tools for assembly. The precisely pre-cut high-quality natural plywood boards make assembly a breeze.
The assembly process is block-based, where smaller blocks are created from individual details, ultimately coming together to form the entire model. Comprehensive step-by-step instructions, complete with detailed color illustrations in 11 languages (English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, and Korean), guide you through the process. Once assembled, the model measures 290 x 550 x 400 mm and consists of 161 details.
The Butterfly's delicate wings are crafted from paper, with the lower wings adjusting their tilt angle during operation to replicate the movements of a real butterfly. Two front pairs of legs move in tandem with the fluttering wings, while the back pair serves as levers to start or stop the rubber-band motor. The Butterfly includes two sets of wings: one in color and the other beige, ready for your artistic touch.
Perched on a flower-shaped platform, The Butterfly slightly bounces as it moves, adding realism to its dance. Ugears' skeletal design allows you to see the gears and blocks inside, enhancing your understanding of the mechanism.
This fascinating model is not only fun to assemble but also a valuable educational tool. Share your passion for smart mechanisms with friends, colleagues, and family members by gifting them this iconic and attractive model. The delicate design ensures it complements any home or office decor.
