Have some PCB photos.

Nerd statistics:
- STM32 (STM32F103C8T6)
- USB Type C PD-chip HUSB238 (to get 12V)
- LDOs making 5V and 3.3V
- Level shifter to make the correct 25kHz 5V PWM signal for the fan
- Variable dummy load to keep power bank on (for low fan speeds)
- RGB LED to indicate power level

It‘s quite nice to be able to change the speed. Rave at full speed, or have conversations at low speed. Best of both worlds!

Step 4: Final installation. I asked my maker @equinoxkitty.bsky.social to add a pocket in the front neck for this, so that‘s where the controller and powerbank go!

Controller in action! Me cycling through all the available speeds.

Note there is no „off“ speed, you would just unplug the USB for that. This is to save battery, because then the powerbank can also go to sleep.

Cable to the fan goes through a printed TPU (rubber) strain relief/cable grip that should make this end quite durable as well.

Since this is a 12V fan, you do need a powerbank that can output that. (USB Type C Power Delivery).

Thankfully these are pretty common nowadays. Most powerbanks that support fast charging can output this voltage, but it is important to check.

The center piece of the build is this small controller I made.

It‘s permanently attached to the fan and can be powered with a USB Type C powerbank.

You select the speed you want with the buttons. Each speed has an associated color that lights up, so it‘s easy to remember what setting you liked.

Step 3: The fan itself, attached with velcro.
Hot glue to secure the wires from breaking off. A finger guard to precent chopping.

This is a SANYO DENKI 109P0412P3H013.
12V, 8700 rpm, 4-wire (with PWM - important), 40x40x28mm

I removed the tachometer wire, which is why you see only 3 wires.

Step 2: This 3D printed piece that provides a surface for the fan to be stuck on in the next step. It also angles the fan a bit down so the airstream hits both my nose and mouth area.

Step 1: Added velcro to the nose bridge of my suit here. (Self-adhesive strips)

Pro tip: use the soft side, or it gets scratchy inside :)

What‘s cooler than fursuiting? Doing it while staying cool yourself :)

I made this mod for my fursuit to add a fan, which is:
- variable speed, quickly selectable
- powered by USB Type C
- quite compact

I did a bunch of design work on the controller for this, so I wanted to share! (Thread)

Play hard work hard sleep hard 🤘😼 A sketchpage for @km251lynx.bsky.social!

A page of drawings of a canadian lynx furry. He's slim and athletic, with big blue eyes, a cute pink nose, and a tuft of white hair on his head dyed blue at the ends. In the scenes across the page, he:
-Yawns and stretches, arms over his head. He's only dressed in camo boxers. The stretch shows off his slim belly, the yawn flashes pointed ivory teeth.
-He rides a yellow bike down a paved outdoor trail, looking intensely focused. It's bright outside, emphasizing the yellow of the bike's frame. He's dressed in a simple t-shirt, bike shorts and shoes, a black helmet, and a hydration pack.
-He looks down a the viewer as if taking a selfie. It's implied the lynx is in a helicopter. A chunky set of headphones (with microphone) rest on his head, he's securely buckled in, and wearing a bug net over his face and jacket. He's smiling sweetly.
-He leans over looking at something off-page, brow furrowed and tongue poking out in concentration.
-A feral version of the same fella sleeps on a black office chair. His long legs and huge paws dangle off the edge of the seat.

It's alright - she makes this face when she's hungry too... on second thought, that's not helping at all... 😅

We do celebrate the name Ronja today in Sweden though, so congratulations tufty! 🥳
