It's time for the Makers' Secret Santa. This year I'm making a giant animatronic robot Furby for very a special little boy. I used 3D printing, an Arduino and various other electronics, and brightly coloured fabric to make a 'Furby Surprise'. Makers this year are:

    Nooooo that's the creepiest model Furby ever! When I took mine apart in 2012, it was extremely grumpy and kept "vomiting". 😆 The newest one is much cuter-- I just did a teardown on my channel. Your giant Furby turned out great, James!

    Very interesting build! We’ve just embarked on building a giant Furby, but ours is going to be based on the 2005/6 version, rather than a Furby Boom, and will only be about half the size of yours. The 2005/6 was the only version with voice recognition & well be using a voice recognition module.

    Hey James, I just wanted to drop a "kudos" here for continually disclosing your sponsorships. There is that new hot 3D printing company that is obviously going around and supplying KZreadrs with tons of equipment so that their printers stay in the spotlight with neither party disclosing the sponsored relationship and it is making the KZread "maker" community feel scummy. It's ultra nice to come here and hear you be open and honest about your sponsors. Keep up the amazing work.
