Doctor Strange Cosplay LED Fan Holders

Printable LED fan holder creates an affordable and really cool Doctor Strange effect for cosplay/Halloween costumes. Shout out to Adam Savage for retweeting my awesome costume! Check out the tweet with a video of the part in action at https://twitter.com/shannenp7/status/1185681546390491136?s=20. These holders work with USB LED programmable fans listed in the "materials section" below. The fit might not be perfect, depending on your printer and print settings. You may need some tape on your fan to get a snug fit, and I also added gauze to the finger slots for comfort. There's a right and left version available - just mirrored versions of each other. The fans come with a disk that lets you program them to display anything you want. Mine showed all green hearts, with immediate appearance and exit, plus a spinning animation in between. To power them up, I used 2 USB to USB extension cords (also listed) and plugged them into a portable battery borrowed from someone else with two ports. The fans were kept snug on my arm using sweatbands you see in the video, but you can use tape or something else instead. In short, here's what you need: * 2 USB LED fans (~$15 each) * 2 USB to USB extension cords * Portable battery (any generic one will do) * Something to keep the fans on your arm (sweatbands or tape work great) This is a pretty affordable way to create a cool, magical effect!
