Electric Butterfly Wings Creation Tutorial

Materials Needed:

L-shaped plastic perforated pieces

Transparent plastic perforated connecting rod

N20 geared motor

AA battery holder for two batteries

steel wire   

Material sizes can be adjusted according to the desired wing size.

Connect the motor and battery holder, red wire to red wire, black wire to black wire.
Cut the L-shaped plastic perforated piece as shown in the picture above and attach it to the motor. If the holes are not large enough, you can use an awl to enlarge them.
Bend the steel wire into the shape shown in the picture above. You can adjust the specific shape according to your needs.
This position needs to be elevated slightly. I used paper, but it was a bit too soft and not very suitable. You can use other materials instead.
Bend the steel wire into a staple shape, assemble it as shown in the picture above, and fill the insertion hole with glue to fix it. Stick two butterfly wings onto the rotating acrylic plates on both sides, and the moving butterfly wings will be ready.

The basic principle is like this. You can adjust the specific angle or length according to the actual situation.
