Description

Add a touch of love to your desk with this adorable Hanging Cat with Heart Balloon. This model is designed to give the illusion that the cat is floating away with the balloon. It is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or for any cat lover!

Design Features:

  • Multipart Design: The model is split into separate parts (Balloon, Ribbon, Cat, Stand, and Base). This allows you to print each piece in its correct color (Red, Black, Brown) without needing a multi-color printer (AMS/MMU).
  • Easy Assembly: The parts are keyed for easy alignment. Just print and assemble.
  • Floating Effect: The rigid ribbon structure holds the cat up, creating a fun gravity-defying look.

Printing Recommendations:

  • Material: PLA or PETG.
  • Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.20mm for good detail.
  • Infill: 15% (Grid or Gyroid).
  • Supports:
    • Cat: Supports are recommended for the belly/overhangs.
    • Balloon & Base: Supports needed usually (depending on your printer's cooling).
    • Ribbon: Print flat for best strength.

Assembly Instructions:

  1. Insert the stand rod into the base.
  2. Attach the cat to the ribbon loop.
  3. Connect the balloon to the top of the ribbon.
  4. (Optional) Use a small drop of superglue (CA glue) for a permanent bond between the parts.

 

*****Heart-shaped eyes are included as separate parts.
