Butterfly Conflaption
$54.00
The Conflaption is a kinetic kit that whirs to life with the turn of a crank!
Made for curious tinkerers, this advanced project doubles the parts count of the Flappy-do and asks for a little extra precision in assembly. The reward is a satisfying motion machine, a crank-driven sculpture that’s as fun to show as it is to build.
This is an early release - printed in small batches with just a handful of color options while the design is still evolving. Each Conflaption is both a creation and a conversation, and your build helps shape what future versions might become.
Good to know
Contains many small parts. Younger builders should assemble with adult help
Heat-sensitive material. Please don’t leave it in a hot car
Designed and 3D printed in very limited numbers—feedback welcome!

What makes the Flappy-Do special?
Inspired by nature: The conflaption takes cues from insects, whose wingbeats make the world bloom with life.
Hands-on assembly: Test-fit, glue, and snap your way through a clear set of instructions (comic-style + animated).
Kinetic art at home: Whether displayed on a desk, shelf, or booth wall, each flap is a tiny performance.
Customizable design: Paint, color, or modify the wings to make your piece one-of-a-kind.
