Happy Easter! :D

Muzzle bits, then he gets eyes! ^_^

Your market shifts as your company grows and evolves. There are people working at every pricepoint. If someone wants specifically your style and your product, they are your market. If someone just wants a price, there are many options for them too, plus everyone teaches. Free is still an option.

Classic fursuit goals, at the time I started, the Marylen husky was $600, too much for Highschool me....So I bought foam and fur and made my own...

People I thought were friends told me I'm gatekeeping the furry community with high fursuit prices.
It really, sucks, I feel it too.
Remember you make a -luxury item- with skills you learned over years.
And, anyone can try making one, like we all did, because buying a premade Marylen wolf was $$$

Still available! Let's make a deal if you are interested. :3

I'm racing in the Bucket Banked charity slalom April 11, in #fursuit!

Yeah, was such a mess to clean! Glorpy

The old pasketti factory! :D

A blorb of pla. Instead of spaghetti, the printer made a meatball!

It prints sketti -and- meatballs! :D

Ai is an insult to everyone.
Slop ai commission idea? I won't reply anymore. Deleted and blocked as the stolen garbage it is.

It's no diff to me than sending in refs copying someone elses suit.

Both are wrong

A head dryer and bodysuit dryer plastics on a table. Stickers seen, as well as the blue deburring bar I scrape the edges with to catch any leftover sharps, a small pile of curled plastic shaving seen below it

Dryers made specifically for fursuits. I make sure each one is fursuit-safe before packaging, no sharp edges! 💙

A fursuit head covering inverted to show seams and sewn on nose

A dog fursuit head carved in foam over a balaclava, ready for fur to be glued in place.

I love 3D printing, but I prefer foam. I like the durability in hot or cold (pla/tpu have melted at BRC), and comfy fit when doing sports or fun stuff (I race snowboard banked slalom in suit)

That's why I still make them this way! :D

prototype of a paw dryer, which has been subjected to crushing, bending, twisting and generally seeing what it takes to break it. The fun part of RnD! :D

Recent printer and fillament improvements mean we can print on-demand now, in multiple colours, with the same strength as milled abs! Full redesign of our dryers underway, taking your suggestions into consideration. Paw dryer V2 being torture tested atm. So far, no breaks!

First shipments arriving from China of new fans for fursuit drying

ThankDog, can order from our partner in China again! New fans are still USB, but higher output!

Bodysuit dryers: low stock, reordering atm

Thankyou! Have felt really good making this pup

The first action photos will be fun :D

Thank yuuu! Been working on my shapes, happy to hear this!

A dog fursuit head on a table, the eyes are paper templates and the fur is loosely placed for customer approval before gluing

More dog progress while I sew his paws. :D

The option to print fursuit parts or export them to VR is a geeky bonus of 3D modelling. :D

Very sad to hear of @bycats4cats.bsky.social passing, Snap was always friendly and kind-hearted.

The best booth, just tell me I am a good boy or else! #FursuitFriday #NFC

A worktop, with a small solar battery powering the lights and sewing machine. Some portable bluetooth speakers provide a bit of music, with black fabric being prepared

Power is out, solar potato saves the day!

Trying out some new shapes, I'm really glad you like them!

Flappy ears!

Fur for a fursuit head, laying inside-out on a table. Ears have been pinned and ready to sew.

Fully sewn, the fur now is loosely drapwd over the foam head for a test fit. The nose is absent, and foam seen beneath. A mockup eye in place to help visualize the goals

Head sewn, making his nose!
