After months of designing, 3D printing, sewing, testing, and solving technical problems, the day of the big KEFUR meeting in Ko\u0161ice arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumirainyx had previously appeared at two smaller KEFUR mini-meetings in a partial version, but this time it was the first major community event where it was presented in a near-final version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as it turned out, the weather prepared its own scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf27\ufe0f Weather: a test by fire... that is, by water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there was one thing I didn't want for this event, it was rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that is exactly what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It rained quite heavily before the event started and most surfaces were wet. Later, the weather improved, but the paths and lawns remained soaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the event was attended by approximately 25 to 30 participants<\/strong>, which surprised me very pleasantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc3e The hooves passed their first big test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My biggest concern was about digitigrade hooves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the transfers, they did not avoid wet surfaces and sometimes even puddles. After returning home, they looked significantly worse than in the morning, but something else was important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 the foam inside remained dry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 glued joints held<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 the structure was not deformed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 nothing peeled off or ripped<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only enemy left was dirt. The impregnation helped, but even the best one doesn't stand a chance against puddles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udebd Wings: the biggest loser of the day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paradoxically, the biggest disappointment was the wings, which I spent the most time on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my haste before leaving the music pavilion, I incorrectly fastened one of the shoulder straps and a few feathers bent slightly during transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udebd During the entire event, I didn't make a single movement with my wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the mechanics were mounted on the costume, I decided not to test it in front of a crowd of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the most interesting thing was that almost no one noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the development of the project, I mainly addressed the mechanics, the louver system for storing feathers, and the technical details. However, most visitors were primarily interested in the overall appearance of the figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 The glowing horn remained off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because of the weather, I decided not to activate any electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battery box remained disconnected and the luminous horn is postponing its premiere to a future event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In wet weather, it was wiser not to risk anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a1 Electronics can be repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a1 However, a short circuit during the event would be explained much worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcf8 St. Elizabeth's Cathedral and first photoshoot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, we also stopped by the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth, where several passersby wanted to take photos with the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was already clear that the public was interested in the costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that was just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcf1 Moving to Aupark and unexpected interest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After moving towards Aupark, something started happening that I didn't expect at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the trip, I was stopped by a lot of people who wanted to take a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is estimated that there were around twenty of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some asked directly, others just showed their mobile phones and indicated with a smile if they could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, I didn't expect Lumirainyx to attract so much attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd17 The QR code served its purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One cosplayer wanted to scan a QR code leading to a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she did not have an internet connection at that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, she simply took a picture of the QR code so she could view the page later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be a small thing, but I was very pleased with it. It means that some people are not only interested in the costume itself, but also in the story and technical side of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf54 Conclusion in Belly Button<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After moving from Aupark, we finally arrived at Belly Button, where a large part of the program concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it was also a time for the first evaluation of the entire event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcca What did I take away from the event?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It worked:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 hooves survived the rain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 the foam stayed dry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 seams and glued joints held<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 the costume lasted the entire event<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 The QR code attracted visitors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Lumirainyx received a lot of joint photos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awaiting edits:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd27 wing shoulder strap adjustment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd27 repair of bent feathers after transportation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd27 completion of opening mechanics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd27 cleaning hooves after rain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd84 Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though the weather wasn't ideal and not everything went according to plan, the big KEFUR served its purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumirainyx successfully completed its first major community event, survived the rain, managed to move around the city, and showed that the project is ready for more adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And next time, I hope, with moving wings. \ud83e\udebd<\/p>\n\n\n\n
