Hey there, glad to hear some people are recreating this in their own way. Unfortuneatly I dont quite have the time to help others recode the project, but I can send you to a great resource. If you have Arduino wiring/coding questions, the best place to go would be the Arduino forum. There are typically loads of examples to learn from and people who are willing to help you with projects like this, here's the link to the forum page and I wish you the best of luck! https://forum.arduino.cc/ PS I recommend looking into the sample arduino code/sketch called "sweep", it just moves a servo back and fourth like the tail to simulate a "sweeping" motion.

Hey there, that's a bit of a hard question to answer. So I made this instructable as more of a general guideline to creating something similar, but tried to make it fairly specific in case anyone wanted details. The cost is a bit hard to pin point but I can give you a general idea. So in development it was about $200 since I had burned some things out and made changes. The mannequin was primarily junk I had lying around so that was about $20, mainly being 3D filament and glue. The mask however was about $50-$75 in electronics, fabric and foam, and other bits like the 3D printed teeth (which were once again scrap, they were failed claws). The tail was probably $50 in materials, electronics, 3D filament, tubing, and wire. So if I were to remake this today how it was, itd probably be about …

The tail was probably $50 in materials, electronics, 3D filament, tubing, and wire. So if I were to remake this today how it was, itd probably be about $100-$150 with the materials and tools that I have. But there's some variables, like how I would need more foam and fabric which is sold per yard, or for example I have many more tools and 3D printers now. And most importantly, experience. It all depends on what you have available and how passionate you are about the project, I was very passionate at the time and was willing to put a good bit of money into development, but some people are just happy with a small mask with no electrical aspects and that's just as cool too as long as youre happy with your work by the end of the day. Hope that helps!

This a great little prank button, but if you want to use it for something more practical you essentially have made a tiny pocket sparker for camp fires! I might have to make a few myself, and excellent job on the instructions, clear and easy.
