I didn't really share too much about my tail project for NFC, because it was kinda a big fail. The plan was to have an electronic winch to convert the tail from floor dragger to lift off the ground. The electrics failed, then my backup hand crank version failed. A lot of work :c
@tito_curmudgeon That's the one I went for, I'm pretty sure there are bigger versions but the 2975 is more popular so easier to find it cheaper second hand
Finally got home from #nordicfuzzcon It was my first time there and first time fursuiting. I had amazing time and I was so glad to hang out with friends I rarely see. <3
I've been non stop sewing/3D printing to try and finish the tail in time for Nordic Fuzz Con. It's not perfect but I nearly have it all ready, plane leaves 3AM tomorrow!
I made this hand cranked version. Using a hole in the side of the tail I could turn the fishing reel, and the other hole would press the release button.
There is a small plastic part which broke and stopped it releasing. I tried remaking out of metal but no luck.
OK SO the last week has been a blur. I managed to get the electrics in the tail working ok, but the gears kept slipping. So I designed and printed a hand cranked version, and then 2 days ago the fishing reel broke with no time to get the right replacement 0-o
