Cyberdog Bobblehead

This is an old and unfinished project, still salvageable for enthusiasts, but not easy or simple to make. It will require some creativity, tinkering and touching up, so read before you proceed!

On the model
I was pretty impressed with the atmosphere, design and worldbuilding of Cyberpunk 2077, and remember vividly when you first drive around in Night City with this bobblehead on your dashboard. I wanted one.

How I made the 3D model

I downloaded the model (forgot the source) and sculpted additional details into it. Then I started splitting splitting it into different parts (head, implant, teeth, etc.) so that I could print and paint them individually. I then made the pedestal with room for some simple electronics, modeled a bore hole through the body for the wires, and added a spring mount to bobble the head. I took some prototyping, because the head is so front-heavy that the spring will simply bend forward and not bobble at all! I fixed that by adding a compartment on the inside of the head which I could fill with a counterweight to balance the head!

How I made the physical model

First, I printed all components with my Mars 2 Pro in transparent red resin. Retrospectively I should have used a non-transparent resin. Anyway, after washing and curing, I airbrushed all the components. I proceeded by filling the compartment in head with tiny lead balls (as used for fishing) and epoxy, and let that cure. Then I added the spring, hotglued some orange leds to the implant, ran the wires through the spring and body ,and soldered those to the 2x AAA battery box and switch in the pedestal. 

Before you print

Please realize that I didn't plan on sharing the model because it I never did the work to make it easy tomake it yourself. But hey, perhaps you want one so badly that you're willing to try anyway! Perhaps you'd be willing to upload your project/remix so that everyone can make one?
