Flapping Fairy Wing Kits Listing Tomorrow, Nov 11 at 12pm Pacific!

That’s right, they’re finally here, easy to assemble flapping fairy wing mechanism kits so your wings can flutter!

Flapping Wing Mech Kit with Silky Lavender Cover

Three kits with cover included will be listed tomorrow, Nov 11 at 12pm Pacific Standard Time.
The soldering has already been done for you, the code is uploaded, the bearings & servo horns and magnets already installed.

Wing panels are not included.

These kits are made to work with my standard size Ethereal Collection wing panels. You might be able to make other wings work with it but I can’t guarantee it. In the future we may add a different servo attachment that will work more universally.

All the hardware is included but you will need some basic tools such as small wrenches (hex and / or Allen wrenches), screwdrivers, and a torch or heat gun to install the servos and mount the circuit boards to the back brace, and apply shrink wrap to some of the cords & wires. We’ll include instructions.
Below are photos of the opening in the cover with a ruler so you can check the clearance for your wings.

They will be listing for somewhere around $500, the wood one will be a little more as it involves more cleanup and has been sanded. The matte lavender one will be slightly reduced as there is a visible line going horizontally across the bottom half.
They will all have some slight imperfections such as tiny pock marks or rougher patches along areas that are more complex to print. Our 3D printer is pretty old by tech standards and we are looking at getting a better one or getting these printed off-site in the future.

They are all printed out of PLA, which can be sanded, primed and painted. Super glues should work well if you want to attach decorative elements to the cover.

Made to Order Fairy Wing Sale Tonight at 8pm Pacific!

It’s a small sale but there will be a couple of big wings

XLPansyUVCpprVn_579.png

Tonight at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time, I’ll be listing a small number of wings as made to order, but with a limited vein color selection of either copper or black.
I do think these orders would be delivered before Halloween, but because my mother has had some health issues that continue to pop up I don't want to promise more than I can deliver so technically please allow roughly 6 weeks for production.
You'll have a choice of either black or copper veins, and your favorite iridescent film color.
If you prefer them to be painted, discuss with me and I may be able to do that for an additional fee, although it may take longer for production.
The extra large Pansy wings shown above will be listing, along with 1 XL Elvina, 1 Ellette, 1 Sintra and 1 Goblin princess.

I'd also like to update you on an issue I was not aware of until this past weekend - there were spam pop-up ads opening up when clicking on some of my Shopify catalogue links. I hadn't seen it because I usually have a pop-up blocker on, but I know someone mentioned something about this maybe a month or two ago. At the time I couldn't replicate it, but after spending all day Saturday trying to figure it out I think it's been fixed.
Please do let me know if it hasn't, and email me a screenshot of it.
I also got locked out of my Instagram account yesterday morning! Some petty hackers must be bored.
I'm actually hoping I have a boring week now please, ha!

Ready To Ship Fairy Wing Flash Sale This Sunday at Noon!

This Sunday, Sept 5 at 12pm Pacific Daylight Time I’ll be having a small flash sale of ready to ship fairy wings.

I’ll have a set of Datura fairy wings in Patina green (shown above) as well as a set of Fauna fairy wings in clear Diamond Fire (below) all with white veins.

I’ll also have a set of Elvina wings in Rose Gold and a set of Goblin Princess wings in Opal, both also with white veins.
Just a note that although they’re ready to ship, I may have some delays in shipping out depending on how the next few days go - my mom has been in the hospital all last week with some Afib & heart rate problems her valve procedure didn’t completely fix and needs to have extra help this week so there’s a chance I might be a day or two later than my usual processing time to ship out. But it shouldn’t be that much later unless things take a turn for the worse.
Knock on wood, so far she seems stable so we’re hoping she keeps improving.

Remember to be ready right at the sale start time, and here’s a handy link: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Fluttering Fairy Wings 2.0 Coming Soon

That’s right, the flapping fairy wing project is getting an upgrade!

Jordan has been hard at work improving upon the mechanical flapping wings for me, and it's almost ready - he just needs to tweak a couple small things on the new original 3D printed back brace design to make a cover fit better and allow for a potential corset attachment.

We're working on a cover for it as well that I will make pretty, but we'll first release the brace and shaft pieces without it so you can get to making if you don't mind crafting your own cover in the meantime.

I've created a new $10 tier called Fairy Alchemist in my Patreon, where the 3D print files will be offered. 

Jordan has simplified the process a lot, so that there will be only minimal soldering - you won't need a perf board anymore, resistors or capacitors. There's now an on / off switch as well. I'll update the original free version with the info on which new components to use for easier assembly, so if you don't care about having a nicer brace that's still an option.

We're also now using better servos that can handle a little more weight, and eventually we'll add more flapping speeds & animations. 

We're also considering offering kits to purchase, and if that happens we'll be offering discount coupons on Patreon as well. 

I’m really happy with how this turned out and can’t wait to create more fluttering fairies!
