Flexi-Trunk Elephant

A #PaperAutomata Project

Just a short newsletter this time, but I hope you enjoy this brand‑new paper automata project! Crank the handle on the Flexi‑Trunk Elephant and watch as she lifts her flexible trunk in delight!

This charming paper automata project brings a touch of playful engineering to your desk.

Print out the parts, cut and assemble the mechanism, then follow the clear step‑by‑step instructions to build your own animated elephant.

The project comes as a downloadable pdf. If you are a premium subscriber to this newsletter you can download the project from the foot of this page for free! The file comes with all the parts, ready to print front and back, as well as a complete set of fully illustrated step by step instruction.

Thanks for reading and for supporting these paper‑engineering adventures. Premium members can grab the Flexi‑Trunk Elephant for free, and if you’d like to join them, a membership unlocks every project I release.

Have a brilliant weekend and happy making.
