I have also included the eagle cad files that I used to produce an LED board for this project. OshPark is an amazing place to get custom PCB's fabricated and they will take the brd file as is. I ended up using a buck converter to power the servo so the path with the capacitor was no longer needed. That saved some space but the board was already in fab.

I recommend using hitec servo wire if you can get your hands on it for the wings. I printed everything at .3mm resolution with 20% infill. This print requires a lot of support and there is no way around it.

It's based off this model on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:700251) I scaled it up to 110%, removed a few buttons to make it easier to use for my son, and created a new battery holder for the 4 AAA's that power it. I decided on an Arduino nano as the brains with a cheap LCD for display. Again, not going for screen accurate but something that will keep a 6-7 year old entertained. I did program in the Ghostbusters 2 LED pattern for the wings.
