Custom Robot Eyeball Quote Checklist
What to prepare before requesting a custom robot eyeball, camera cavity, iris style, special shell, or bulk project quote.
Key takeaways
- The fastest custom quote includes diameter, use case, camera module, rear clearance, quantity, and reference photos.
- Camera-ready builds need the lens opening, board size, ribbon direction, and cable exit checked before production.
- Special sculpture shells should be quoted separately from standard white-shell handmade eyes.
Start with diameter and visible opening
Send the target eye diameter and the visible opening in the face, mask, doll head, or sculpture. The physical eyeball can be larger than the visible iris area, but the rear cavity and eyelid clearance need enough space for the full shell.
Explain the final use case
A robot head, BJD doll, static prop, moving animatronic, and large sculpture can all use handmade eyes, but each build has different constraints. Mention whether the eye will be static, servo-driven, camera-ready, removable, or permanently installed.
Include camera module details if the eye needs vision
For camera-ready custom eyes, include the camera model, lens diameter, board outline, ribbon cable direction, and any required field of view. OV5640-style modules are common, but small differences in lens and board layout can change the rear cavity.
Choose an iris direction before production
Round human-style irises, vertical pupils, dragon eyes, cat eyes, mechanical iris looks, bloodshot camera eyes, and sculpture eyes are different visual directions. A clear reference photo helps match the iris color, pupil shape, and shell finish.
For bulk orders, send the quantity and matching rules
Bulk eye orders should specify whether every eye must match exactly, whether left-right pairs are needed, and whether small handmade variations are acceptable. This helps estimate production time and quality-control requirements.
FAQ
What information should I send for a custom robot eyeball quote?
Send the eye diameter, visible opening, use case, quantity, camera module details if needed, rear clearance, and reference images for iris style or sculpture shell direction.
Can Robot Eye Kit make non-standard sizes?
Yes. Standard product pages cover 30-100mm, and unusual sizes or special cavities can be handled through the custom quote form.
