Makerspaces often mix technology with design.  I  opted for neither.  I did not design it and it is not animatronic yet (although if I leave it in Zane’s company for too long it will be).  Instead, I went with whimsy.  I 3D printed a whimsical, mythical beast: a “teacup dragon” that I downloaded from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17906.
