Watch it move

One clip plays at a time, as it scrolls into view.

Side view of the manta ray automaton, dark wings above the tower and a pale wood base, a camera and a book behind.

Front view of the manta ray automaton, copper-toned ribbed wings spread on wires above a dark wood tower and light wood base.

Three manta ray automata with different bases on a dark table beside a white vase, their wings moving.

What you can see moving

One small motor turns a single shaft at a steady speed.

Wooden arms carry that turn out to the wings, and each arm takes it up a moment after the one before it.

That small delay is the whole trick: a motor turning at one steady speed becomes a slow, uneven glide, the way a real manta moves.

From people who own one

MoveArtly is new, so these come from people who bought the same Manta ray from the same workshop at a partner store. They are shared with that store’s permission and copied word for word. We picked a mix, and the critical ones stay in.

Beyond my expectations! This is one of the most beautiful and unique things I’ve ever seen. People kept asking me where I got it from! P.S. I would absolutely love to buy one featuring a hammerhead shark! 🦈

This order was a risk, but it turned out to be a gorgeous, magical addition to our living room. My new favorite thing. It’s beautifully made, just exquisite really. Thank you!!!

The manta ray is absolutely beautiful and very relaxing to watch! I rated 4/5 stars just because the price is very high and unfortunately the manta ray I got is not nearly as dark as the ones in the ad. This was disappointing and it bothers me enough I will probably stain the wood myself so it’s darker.

Our note. Wood color varies from one piece to the next, so yours may come out lighter or darker than the one in our photos.

★★★★★A gift

I bought this as a gift for my husband, as he loves mechanical craftsmanship, and we were both genuinely amazed by the Wooden Manta Ray. The level of detail and the smooth, flowing movement are absolutely beautiful, you can really appreciate the skill and thought behind it. It’s such a joyful piece; honestly, it brings a smile to anyone who sees it, regardless of age.

Incredible craftsmanship. I bought one for my mum and it floats proudly on her windowsill. We may have overused it though as it has developed a squeak. I seem to remember there was a “gears exposed” option which I should have taken. I’m not an engineer or craftsman myself but I’ll certainly be tinkering with it. Fantastic product

Our note. The External gear version keeps the wheel outside the tower, where it is easy to see and reach.

Questions

Which base should I choose?

External gear: the wheel sits outside, so you can watch it turn. Internal gear: the same motion, with the wheel tucked inside.

Is it noisy?

You will hear the small motor turning. We have not measured it yet, so we will not quote a number. If it is louder than you like, return it within 30 days.

How long does a charge last?

It charges with the included USB-C cable. We are still measuring how long a charge lasts, so we do not quote a number yet.

What if it arrives broken?

Send a photo to support@9spacex.com and we send a free replacement.

Can I return it?

Yes. You have 30 days. Write to support@9spacex.com and a real person replies within 24 hours.
