Fire Shiba Inu head done. Will be out as a head only item that you can add more money to, to get a tail and gloves. The starting price will be 750 USD. This is the second head I have ever made. So there ARE errors here and there. But they are not that bad. Will be put up at 6pm PST. -🪷Mori🪷

Grey, black, red yellow dog fursuit head.
Has a big nose. 3d printed teeth and a yellow mouth with fire designs in the fur.

I finally got the spoons to work on the head again. Fixed the eyebrow and cheek where it was badly balding. Bad quality fur (red) was shaved a bit too close on and brushed and it balded. But now. You can hardly tell what side is balded / was fixed lol This will be for sale soon. 🪷-Mori-🪷

16 rolls. 300 LEDs per roll. Cut in half for 32 strips of 150. These are all going on the ceiling to be controlled by a single custom controller. Soon!

Box of LED strips shipment.
Plan to stick 4800 LEDs on the ceiling to make a rave room in the living room.

Going to MFF this weekend? Keep an eye out for Zetta in 1 of 3 styles of harness. Stop him for a hug! Ask questions! Check out the gear! Ask him about the (soon to be) 4800 LEDs on his living room ceiling that will run off the same hardware he is carrying around!

Little 4 way USB-C cable inside a pack of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries at Costco. It can charge 3 of my boxes at once on my 18w brick. (1A each charge rate) Sadly it's sharing power to the USB-A and USB-C ports so I can't also charge my phone... Will use the AA and AAA somewhere... <3 -Z

Remake! The Leg Strap add-on for the last 7-Point build ended up a little too long. These are 40 LEDs each down from 53. Seal curing overnight then assembly tomorrow to get them out for MFF next week! I'll have a few builds with me! Follow the lights if you want to chat!

Work shopping some hook and loop for slight adjustability at some key connection points. New X design Allows the leg strap add-ons on the current MFF 7-point build to be modular Will update with some better photos once the harness is on the fursuit it was measured for Set for LAUNCH! <3 -Z

New X design showing full length LED runs along both straps with a single O ring and hook and loop fastener to tie it together.
(Lower straps loop through O ring at front to offer some adjustability

Close up of an adjustment point for the X 4-Point design.
A square of hook on the end of the strap which is passed through the Chest O Ring.
A length of loop strip lines the back of the LED strap for the hook to attach. (Amount of adjustability depends on design, roughly 6 inches here for clarity. Adjustment points on other designs will typically be a few inches to reduce bulky excess material that doesn't have LEDs inside)

Wide view of 7-point design with leg strap add-ons slightly visible on the left and secured to the main harness via hook and loop.
Design incorporates buckles on the chest strap with slight adjustability points via hook and loop at the buckles.
The connection points at both hips offer adjusted for the waist straps via hook and loop on the back straps.
It also gives a more lightweight result with less buckle weight on top of the added few inches of fine tune adjustment.

Leg straps not connected here to show the base design.
7-point meaning there's 7 straps that meet at the chest.

Got a battery for the multimeter. Power testing puts my 600+ LED and 6+ hour runtime estimates in the ballpark of EXTREMELY conservative. TL;DR: there's enough juice to rave all night. Also run+charge via power bank or swap 18650 batteries. Either way, the power ceiling is HIGH. <3 -Z

LED strips then get inserted into a diffuser silicone strip for extra protection, reinforcement, and to add some resistance to moisture. These are sealed at both ends with hot glue and/or silicone. Once that's all wired, sealed, and dried, I run a full electrical test in all controller modes.

While we're here, a build overview! Each LED strip is cut to size and joints soldered for reinforcement. Wire layout is soldered on with input connectors for daisy chaining a collar and/or a leash or just connecting the controller at a different spot. 3 here for 'Standard' style.

Hm yes lovely. Was doing the finishing touches before the nose and mouth inserts and pulled too hard on the backing on the left side. Now I have to replace the red parts that are taped for the pattern. Other than that hiccup, the head is almost done. The fursuit makers chacha never ends. -Mori

That's 600+ LEDs at 1/8 brightness. (60mA per LED at full bright + full white = 7.5mA at 1/8 brightness) 5000 mA / 7.5 = holy cow that's a lot of LEDs. Haven't had a build use that many yet, but nice to know the option is there. 18650 rated for higher amperage as used in vapes.
