I may be missing something. But I was searching the thread and I cant find where you buy these MF eyes / lids.
Also nice work, and I would assume they would work for a YLDoll.

Hi BGS,

Sorry but I'm presently not sharing the stl files for the eyes.
I need to have some way to fund my continuing work aside from begging for donations.
I have some other items I've been sharing with the community but I can't give everything away.

No worries. I understand trying to fund all these hobbies. Thanks again for all the info that you have shared already. I've learned a couple of cool tricks (like the acetone vapour) that will be useful for other projects.

Hey MF. I made a completely customizable Iris and Pupil Template with Photoshop. If you're interested I can email it to you. (Free) Perhaps it will help you broaden your array of lense Options :) Everything right down to the individual fiber strands is alterable if you go under IMAGE then > ADJUSTMENTS then HUE/SATURATION. You can also just right click each layer and do a "blending options" > "color overlay" etc. I tried to Pm it to you with attachment but .psd files aren't allowed I guess. Let me know if you want it via pm. :)

Its pretty easy to use. If you have basic photoshop skills.

Its all done in layers:

Can literal make endless combos.

Hey Eenie nice to hear from you! I'm very glad you like them! :D

Zippy thanks - I use a similar process myself for doing the iris variations, although not quite so elaborate.
I've found however, that having too many choices can sometimes be as troublesome as having too few. Best to have just a few really good ones I think. :wink:

Actually anyone can make their own lenses for the Easy Move eyes. It's basically just a photo jewelry process - nothing new that I've invented.
All you need is an ink jet printer, some glass cabochons, clear epoxy, some 4mm flat washers for the back, and of course the iris design to print out.
I do have a system worked out that makes the process a bit easier...

Also there are many people on Etsy that sell these already made - all you'd need to do is glue a washer to the back.

Alright, new improvement for the eyelids!
Version V4 is 2mm deeper for more eyeball coverage when closed, and features a special shape that allows the eyelid to be pulled out farther for a completely closed look.

The little hook shape holds the lids in place when pulled out.
Even works without eyeballs installed! :)
