# TVA Pruning Baton from Loki ## Overview https://youtu.be/o4wTI-aIlHo ## Feather M4 & PropMaker Build a Time Baton inspired prop from the Disney+ series Loki. Use a Feather M4 and PropMaker FeatherWing with CircuitPython to make a motion activated prop with lights and sounds! Different sounds are triggered depending on threshold and the LED changes brightness and color! ![3d_printing_propmake-feather-holding-heor.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/105/915/medium640/3d_printing_propmake-feather-holding-heor.jpg?1635190619) ## Accessible USB Hidden inside the handle are the electronics. The Feather and PropMaker are fitted in a holder that can easily pull out for easy USB access. ![3d_printing_handle-pull.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/105/916/medium640thumb/3d_printing_handle-pull.jpg?1635191397) ## 3D Printed Prop The diffuser is removable much like a lightbulb, you can unscrew it from the assembly. Parts are designed for support-free 3D printing and fit on beds of most 3D printers! ![3d_printing_hero-landscape.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/105/822/medium640/3d_printing_hero-landscape.jpg?1635190879) ## Time Stick Capable of altering the flow of time, this weapon is wielded by the Time Variance Authority. This SciFi inspired baton has the power to prune individuals by incapacitating variants. It features seven light tubes arranged in a circular group.  ![3d_printing_hero-diffuser.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/105/818/medium640/3d_printing_hero-diffuser.jpg?1634916626) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/105/821/medium800/3d_printing_hero-diagonal.jpg?1634916657) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/105/820/medium800/3d_printing_hero-hold.jpg?1634916647) ## Parts ### Adafruit Feather M4 Express - Featuring ATSAMD51 [Adafruit Feather M4 Express - Featuring ATSAMD51](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3857) It's what you've been waiting for, the Feather M4 Express featuring ATSAMD51.
