What this video covers

This FrightProps tutorial walks through the step-by-step assembly of a servo block, a mounting solution designed to securely house a servo motor while adding structural rigidity and strength. The video demonstrates how servo blocks integrate with servos to create a more reliable foundation for animatronic movement. It serves as a practical guide for haunt builders looking to get clean, stable servo installations in their props.

Key takeaways

  • Servo blocks provide a dedicated mounting structure that keeps servos firmly in place during operation
  • The assembly process adds mechanical strength beyond what a bare servo offers on its own
  • Proper servo block setup is a foundational skill for building reliable animatronic props
  • FrightProps offers compatible servos and servo blocks through their online store

Who this is for

Haunt builders and animatronics hobbyists who want to learn proper servo mounting techniques for stronger, more dependable prop mechanisms.

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
