I like that the engineers put some effort into making this furby a bit more long lasting with that anti-fraying step. So many companies would just skip the step and end up with a product that would break frequently.

What a cool teardown! We always love watching knowledgeable people like you explore our scans.

You guys have like a "Tour" page like musicians so I can see which of my favorite RU-vidrs you're going to be visiting next? You've hit a couple now... Here's some recommendations: Recording Studio Loser: compare a $200 microphone with a $8,000 one Tring Shoe Repair - I realize he already takes shoes apart, but seeing the components in situ sounds intriguing Lincoln St. Woodworks - lots of power tools and guy loves to compare stuff Connections Museum - vintage telephone equipment from the 20s-60s Adrian's Digital Basement - early integrated circuits like the SID chip or 1MB hard drive CuriousMarc - Apollo equipment, aviation instrumentation, vintage test equipment Look Mum No Computer - really just want to see inside his brain

4:50 "saving fractions of pennies" These kinds of cost-savings can be surprisingly significant, it's not just paying for a package, the chip has to be put inside the package, tested, sealed, probably tested again, marked, labeled, packaged, shipped, picked, placed, soldered etc. It all adds up quite quickly. It's like how your CD-player comes with a manual in 15 languages; It's simply cheaper to print all those manuals and then have boxes that can go anywhere, than to keep track of which boxes hold which languages and which countries they can go to. Boxing manuals on demand is not an option and when units are required elsewhere, re-boxing is a complete waste of time, so they just put all languages in all boxes and surprisingly: save money. Logistics.

I spent a good couple hours pouring over the CT scans, absolutely enthralled the whole time as I identified components before I watched this video :D The motor assembly has a leaf switch as a home sensor for when the programming drum does a full revolution, and I'm guessing the encoder allows the computer to track the motor, so the motor can move the programming wheel to certain places to control things like the feet, ears, eyes and mouth

@bernard2735 7 месяцев назад

That was a fascinating teardown. Love the X-ray imaging. You can learn so much about design engineering by looking at how someone else developed solutions. Thank you both. P.S. glad Furby survived the operation ☺️

@nicklogan2 6 месяцев назад

lovely teardown, I wonder if there could be different shapes on the encoder wheel to "program" the actions to stay on/off longer.

Hello before of all congratulations for this work I have a question for you. I bought a furby to my daugter but he can t moves only speak and light Its possible that fail of motors of the movements Thanks

@bs_334 4 месяца назад

My daughter's Furby just stopped working, it turned off, we thought it was the batteries and we changed them but it still doesn't turn on, we tried restarting it in the Heart and Peak gem but it doesn't do anything. It only has 2 months of use. HELPPP MEEEEE

@Sammy880926 6 месяцев назад

I bought one for my daughter as a Christmas present, but unfortunately it stopped working in less than 24 hours. Your video encourages me to find the problem on my own rather than returning it to the store.

@mvivanc 5 месяцев назад

Same error here it lasted one day for my daughter. The gem Button is not working at all. Could you fix it? I see this is happening to a lot of people. So sad

@Sammy880926 5 месяцев назад

@@mvivanc I took out the batteries before putting it back in its box to return it to the store, I made the decision not to open it because I still had a few days to get a refund or an exchange. The time to return it to the store I had the instinct to try it again and magically it worked like a new one. I think to have taken the batteries out overnight to erase the memory. It has worked very well since that day.

@mvivanc 5 месяцев назад

@@Sammy880926 I will try that thank you. I took the batteries away for over 10 minutes with no luck. Will try leaving it without batteries for a day. Appreciate your answer!

I have a Koby (a Furby copycat toy) I took apart decades ago. I still haven't put him back together. Maybe now I will and control him with an ESP32 or something. What are your plans for your Furby?

Nicest silk screen labels I've seen on anything... except maybe those wierd products that are designed to be hacked.

@RemiGrumeau 3 месяца назад

Just did disassembled my daughter"s. It has been a real PIA. The front button was not working properly so i was wondering if a small plastic part was broken. The fur is terrible to remove, ans those pink anchor have clearly been made to make it easier/quicker to assemble, and probably to be more "repairable" on the papers. In reality, it's pretty much impossible to unlock them without damaging a few. Good luck reassembling it...

@nathanbanks2354 7 месяцев назад

I'm tempted to get a Furby and connect him to an LLM... GPT-4 would be pretty expensive, maybe Mistral through a raspberry pi with wireless or something...

I don't find any Furby to be creepy. Furby Connect was not the best design though with the loops for ears, and wiggling side to side instead of forward and back, and what a battery-hog that model was. I like the ears on furby23, and the feet moving.

And the cool thing is there’s a part somewhere on the circuitboard where if you touch it the pitch goes up and down you can make the pitch go faster or slower
