Kiki the Cyber Squirrel cosplay mask

Kiki is the mascot of Krita, the open-source digital painting program! This is a kigurumi-style cosplay mask I made so I could become her. It features a mechanically articulated mouth as well as electronically articulated blinking eyes controlled via ESP32 and BLE (NOTE: the V2 files don't contain the eye mechanism. If you want to build it, it remains unchanged from V1.1).

Required extra parts (V2 non-moving eyes, fixed ears):

• 42 - M3x10 self tapping screws or machine screws
• 4 - M3x25 machine screw
• 2 - 4mm OD x 150mm length metal shaft/tube (note: you might be able to glue the ear hub to the shell and avoid using these)
• Printed eye graphics set (can use normal paper as the costume includes some vision holes, however perforated eyes are ideal)
• 4-way stretch furkig material (“minky fur”)
• Hot glue gun/glue sticks
• Upholstery foam for padding
• Black plastic/vinyl to cut out for the nose
• (optional) Velcro for removable padding
• (optional) Sandpaper, filler primer, paint, etc. to finish the shell parts
• (optional but recommended) Black fabric scraps to fill in the gaps between panels

For machines with 256mm^2 or larger build plates, all the plates should print as-is, though you may need to change support settings to get it to print. 

For Ender-3 class machines (220mm^2), The faceplate and hair-3 files will need to be printed in parts and glued/melted together. The remaining plates will print as-is.

Be warned, this was created for personal use. There is currently no build instructions. The animatronic eyes require non-standard parts (notably the metal shafts (2mm and 4mm dia.) and the 35mm stepper motors used (these are somewhat common as scanner head motors in multifunction inkjet/laser printers). It's not guaranteed that all parts will fit together without modification.

Treat this more as a reference or starting-off point for your own work than a ready-to-use design.

UPDATES:
 

2025-08-23: 

• Replace moving hinge ears with a fixed design as the moving hinge required non-standard parts and was extremely difficult to assemble.
• Remove unused screw bosses from the faceplate that had to be cut away in order to assemble the eyes properly
• Slightly tweaked the face sculpt to fit on 256mm*2 build plates
• Distribute all components as properly scaled, pre-oriented plated STLs
• V2 files in root directory; previous files moved to V1.1 folder

2025-08-01: 

• Updated latch design to be more robust (pre-update frame_1 and frame_rear are located in V1 folder, all other files unchanged and moved to V1.1 folder)
