The fluttering fairy wings 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!
