Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy model kits, and that's kinda the same thing.

It’s my annual ‘I need to look busy, for petty reasons’ day on Sunday, so I’m doing 10% off my entire shop to get as many sales as possible! Shares and such appreciated blacksmoke1033.etsy.com 🐺

Epsilon may be a desert unit, but this recent heatwave is a different beast entirely. More thermal dispersion augments required before brazil furfest methinks

Okay, I'm sold on the hozo neosander. Tamiya uv putty turns to dust under there with zero pressure. It'll leave you with tingly fingers and does get a little warm, so I'll probably print a grip for it at some point. Quick pla scrap print test too, leaves it smoooooth

Hozo neosander arrived and I just had to print it a case 😀

Original video in all its clicky goodness. Remember folks. Say no to artificial intelligence, and yes to genuine idiots 😀

Instead of a feather, I weigh your heart against some sick rgb ddr5

Deleted the last video. Not because I aint cute, I'm cute af. But because I was informed the music was AI gen, and ethics are more important than ego. Support artists. Fuck AI.

So, a lot of people ask me why I have so many model kits. Truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn't produce enough model kits of its own, so I have to supplement

The printers are running, and all now species badges will have this upgrade at no extra cost :D Over the weekend I'll add a listing for free upgrade parts for existing owners too, just pay postage 😀

Little update on the species badges! People have asked for battery covers, so took the day to design a new back that does just that 😀 And the best part? They can be retrofit onto existing ones too, just using slightly longer bolts!

Shipped today!

Why did I believe surgery recovery would take like, a week? Painkillers make me nappy and moving hurts T_T Doctors offered me a sick note for a month, what good is that to the self employed? My boss is a jerk.

Oh noes! Epsilon has worms!

Apologies to recent customers. Surgery recovery is kicking my ass and orders are taking longer than expected to get made T_T

The blue LEDs came out particularly striking on Epsilon ( @illumicyberwear.bsky.social ) This was shot on 250D in the #confuzzled lobby. #fursuiting #16mm

In hindsight, reopening my etsy store before I had surgery may have been a mistake XD I'm in so much pain 🥲

Look at this amazing banner @tigertango.bsky.social gave me! LOOK AT IT! I have such amazing friends frfr ^^_^^

Ehh... I bet I could take 'em. If you ever spot @illumicyberwear.bsky.social, make sure you check out their incredible suit! #ConFuzzled #CFz #FursuitFriday

Realising how cool this looks in the dark. :) I'm glad I decided to go for it! When I saw it on @illumicyberwear.bsky.social's stall at the CFz dealer's den, I kinda fell in love with it. Dunno where I want to put it yet, but it's just staying on this shelf for the time being~

I still have stock of the v2 cybertags in pink, blue, green, yellow, and white Programmable over bluetooth via app 😀

These two beauties are available to purchase K-byte the augmented wolf on the left, and G.E.M on the right (Had to censor G.E.Ms nipples for dealers den XD) Art by the spectacular @apeslion.bsky.social Why not take one (or both) of them home today? Confuzzled dealers den, table B06

Well yall certainly listened 😀 Sold out of 2 types of fursuit visor, and all the red led cybertags have gone. Now I suit and start it all again tomorrow

All set up in confuzled dealers den! Come buy things!

I'll be in the dealers den all weekend this coming @confuzzled.org.uk Table B06 Been working for MONTHS on making stock, please don't make me take it all home T_T I even redesigned the scroller badge housings :D

The auto stick calibration in action 😀

One thing I love about Epsilons weathered paint job, is when it gets chipped or worn down, just slap some dark metallic paint there so it looks like exposed metal 😀 Like wearing them is telling me where more weathering should be

My genius knows no bounds!

Epsilons controller was getting drift, so embarking on using the original hall effect stick that's in the ps move controller instead for more reliability. So far, got smoothing and dead zone coded into a test example 😀

Got commissioned to make a base for a 1/72 kshatriya (gundam unicorn) 210 rgbw leds with an rf remote control 🥰 Made of laser cut and etched acrylic, the top is even mirror so you can admire the models.. um... undercarriage 😀 (mirror still has protective film on it)

Latest Loona print project complete 😀 The glow in the dark resin, whilst thick as all hell, came out amazing! Model by @chyvak.bsky.social scaled to 150% so she's 16 inches tall total Printed on a pair of OG @elegoo.bsky.social saturn printers in sunlu resin because its cheap lol

Nice to know etsy are giving my details to 3rd party lenders without my consent...

The model is EXTREMELY well sliced

Yeah this sunlu gitd green resin is wild.

Playing with some sunlu glow in the dark resin gifted to me. This stuff is THICK, had to dilute it with some clear, and it still has bodily fluid consistency...

Starting a new print project! Yes, it's another loona 😀 Detail aint bad for a 5 year old OG elegoo saturn and cheap resin. If Elegoo wanna hut me up with a newer printer, I won't argue XD

I'm not exaggerating when I say the upgraded poi cores are bright. Charged heavy attack lookin fist

Tripled the number of leds in there and added some more light modes 😀

"Do you mind? I'm trying to enjoy my work break".

Final 3 deck boxes made for confuzzled :D Will have 3 glow in dark, 3 galaxy swirl, and 2 inverted neons

Piiiiiiink!

Confuzzled is getting AWFULLY close.... Just some final things to make, including these galaxy acrylic deck boxes 😀 Convention exclusive colourway because I have like 2 sheets of each

If anyone wants to buy epsilon one of these, they'd be extremely grateful .

My brand new cat skull shirts are here!! If you’d like one, they’re on my store now and all come with a free art print! blacksmoke1033.etsy.com 🐈‍⬛

Repurposed some old vape lipos into some rechargable, programmable (potentially bluetooth and wifi enabled) rgb poi 😀

Today is conduit day for the wiring 😀 Non standard conduit spacing, so had to design and print some custom clips. Sorry for all the workshop posting, I'm just so excited to be doing it all 😀
