Here's the instructional video on how to build my advanced, servo based animatronic heart mechanism using arduino and 3D printing. I designed it for use in a silicone jacket but you can use the fabric jacket from my previous tutorial too!

Mechanism components:
Various screws between M1 and M3
PCA9685 16-channel servo driver board or similar - https://amzn.to/2JPOzsx
Arduino Micro - https://amzn.to/2q4cpdw
3 servos - DS-843MG servos are recommended for their strength needed to stretch out the silicone skin, but the design can also support MG90s servos (2x https://amzn.to/2rF8EeM)
10K Potentiometer - https://amzn.to/2XdaL5g
5.5mm DC panel input - https://amzn.to/2pmGch6
5V power supply - https://amzn.to/2rCyJer
Jumper cables - https://amzn.to/2rK3qP2
Some slightly thicker wire for the power supply
500g Platsil Gel 00 (I couldn't find a link for such a small amount but here is 2lb - https://amzn.to/2QiQf1H)
2kg Tinsil 7025 -
A small amount of Ease Release 205
Silicone pigment in dark red
A suitable container, which may be constructed using hot glue and styrene or similar
Airbrush and acrylic paints
Pin vice hand drill
Soldering Iron
Electrical tape
Fake blood!
