That's a tough question to answer exactly. The electronics are $30-60, depending what you get and where you get them. The shell has about $10 of 3D printer filament in it, or $100 of commercial 3D printer resin, plus whatever you get charged for the time it takes to print ($20-200?). Then there are some other odds and ends, like the tape measure for the antenna, nuts and bolts, paint, etc., depending on what you need (or have). I would say you probably can't build it for less than $50, and $125 is probably close if you have to pay for 3D printing (FDM).

+Caspian Lee The cylinders I used were $15-25 each, and available at any home supply store here in the USA. They are typically used for very light screen doors... my guess is that a screen door would weigh 20-30lb (10-15kg), so if you have one that could handle a 100kg (220lb) door, that is probably overkill. I'd really recommend you check into regular pneumatic cylinders (e.g. automationdirect.com ), because with just a little more money, you could make them open and close!

+Guido Kimble Marvellous info - thank you! Have done a bit of research into pneumatic cylinders, but getting the right kit together is going to be a nightmare - we don't have portable compressor & regulator devices on the market over here, so I'd have to buy all the valves and build it from scratch. -.- I may play around with that once the wings are built and I'm not building to a deadline - if I make any progress, I'll be sure to post it.

If you look up my "Ranger Target" system, it uses a 100PSI low pressure regulator from a paintball gun, along with off the shelf pneumatic cylinders.

Great work,fantastic stuff. I must have this gimic.
+Michael Schmidt I posted the files on Thingiverse, if you want to 3D print one for yourself. (I also have a new v3 one that I will post soon, that has holes in the top to glue socket head cap screws.) www.thingiverse.com/thing:1154596
I have a mighty need for this. Probably the best one I've seen made so far.
Sup brother
What's the music used?
+thomas tolentino It looks like it's called "Hero Theme - MK2". I'm not sure if "MK2" is the name of the band. The song is one of the built in KZread musics, that I picked from... the video actually has no sound.
Very nice ! do you have a "how to build your on" tutorial anywhere ?
+TB7445 Yes (sort of, anyway). The 3D models are all posted on Thingiverse, along with some basic instructions for assembly and electronics. www.thingiverse.com/thing:1154596 Enjoy!
+Guido Kimble fantastic ! thank you ! I'm not equip with a 3D printer, but I'll poke a friend who has one. Thanks for the reply and the link :)
+TB7445 If you don't have a printer, you can always have the parts made by a company like Shapeways.com . If you do, it will obviously cost more, but you can get it made on a machine that will require very little post finishing (e.g. sanding, filling the surface texture, etc.).
Do you have the blueprints for this? I'd love to build this for my own my backyard for shooting.
You are my hero!!! I want to craft wings exactly the size of yours but the only ones I've found were too small.
+LOKAoriginals Thanks! That's what I was originally surprised at too. Granted that I made this in 2009, and since people have made big wings, but at the time I searched the internet and was disappointed to find only small "notional" wings (e.g. <4' wide). I didn't want to pretend like she had wings, I wanted her to actually have wings. In any case, good luck on yours!
Not enough rigidity. You dont really need a 2.2kw to cut wood... & not enough rigidity to cut aluminum...
I'm trying to source the pneumatic door closers here in the UK. It looks like they're very much an American thing and I can only find a couple that aren't imports. However, they aren't 'heavy duty', which I imagine you'd need. In short, did you use heavy duty ones or regular? The ones I have available are limited to 100KG doors. Thanks in advance! :-)
+Caspian Lee The cylinders I used were $15-25 each, and available at any home supply store here in the USA. They are typically used for very light screen doors... my guess is that a screen door would weigh 20-30lb (10-15kg), so if you have one that could handle a 100kg (220lb) door, that is probably overkill. I'd really recommend you check into regular pneumatic cylinders (e.g. automationdirect.com ), because with just a little more money, you could make them open and close!
+Guido Kimble Marvellous info - thank you! Have done a bit of research into pneumatic cylinders, but getting the right kit together is going to be a nightmare - we don't have portable compressor & regulator devices on the market over here, so I'd have to buy all the valves and build it from scratch. -.- I may play around with that once the wings are built and I'm not building to a deadline - if I make any progress, I'll be sure to post it. Thanks again for your help! :-)
+Caspian Lee You probably do have the required parts around your country, you just have think outside the box. If you look up my "Ranger Target" system, it uses a 100PSI low pressure regulator from a paintball gun, along with off the shelf pneumatic cylinders. The whole world uses pneumatic cylinders for machine design, so you've got to have suppliers (try Bimba). Just email me if you need more info (my email is in the video).
+Caspian Lee You might also look into electronic linear actuators. They can be surprisingly affordable, and would open and close the wings.
Now thats true love!! She's lucky to have you (and the wings)
is there a tutorial on how to make them
Are those real pistons? It looks like there are some elastic devices that make the wings open... Could you tell me something about that? I would to create a sort of wings like that, i really like if i could make them open automatically, like yours. Great job! ^_^
+Sara M They are "screen door closers", from the hardware store, painted gold. They were the cheapest thing I could find to pull it off, because I was out of work at the time. You could also simply substitute "double acting pneumatic cylinders", and the associated plumbing, to make them able to open AND close. That would probably add $100-200, which is why I didn't do it at the time.
that's actually a fantastic idea! How do you control the opening of the wings? Do you have to pull any wire, or push some buttons? Thank you for reply :)
+Sara M At 1:17 you can see the "rip pin" on the front of the wings. The operator pulls the pin, and the screen door closers open the wings.
Must. Need. Tutorial.
Way cool... it so pretty
