Butterfly Bead Pen (wings flap when beading)

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the assembly guide at the bottom (First assembly can be completed within 3 minutes)

This model drives a series of mechanisms by the 'clipping' action when beading, allowing the butterfly on top to flap its wings while beading, just like a butterfly resting on the back of your hand.

This model, while adding a butterfly flapping mechanism, does not add extra accessories to the traditional bead pen. (A bead needle is required; 115mm x 1.1mm was used for testing, please test other sizes yourself).

When printing the main body of the bead pen, PLA Silk is recommended. Brittle filament is not recommended.

There are three types of butterflies to choose from: with antennae, without antennae, and solid color hollowed out.

Please use my print profile to avoid unnecessary print failures.

Below are some color combinations I used as suggestions.

The mechanism of this model is relatively complex; it took more than 20 iterations to achieve the current smooth wing-flapping effect. If you like it, please give me some encouragement. After printing, refer to the assembly guide below for assembly.
