wooden manta automaton 3d model

Design a wooden automaton base for a handcrafted mechanical stingray (manta) automaton. The base must be structurally stable, minimal, and functional, designed to house and support a mechanical transmission system (rotating shaft, eccentric cam, double connecting rods). Key requirements: • Rectangular or softly rounded base, proportioned for a tabletop automaton • Made entirely of wood (natural finish, visible grain) • Internal cavity to contain: • a horizontal rotating shaft • an eccentric cam or crank disk • two connecting rods moving symmetrically • Side opening or removable panel for maintenance and inspection • Upper surface with two discreet bearing points to support the manta body • One side prepared for a manual crank handle (optional motor-compatible design) • Base must visually communicate precision craftsmanship and calm, kinetic elegance Style: • Fine woodworking, museum-quality automaton • Clean joints, no visible screws on main faces • Soft shadows, neutral background Output: •
