Description
This is a print in place toy for your four-legged friends that encourages your cat to play and hunt. The toy consists of a handle, a chain and a moving fish attached to the end.
Sharp edges and corners have been removed. I also make the fish available for you as a single download.
I added a second version where the chain looks better after printing. The 2nd version is more difficult to print, so use a brim or raft when printing so that the chain sticks. I removed the rest of the brim with a box cutter (was a bit of work with all the chain links). Good luck and have fun with this rather difficult print!
Print settings that I used:
Filament: PLA
Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
Print Height: 0.20mm
Infill: 15%
No support
Version 1: If the chain won't stick you could try glue or a brim.
Version 2: I highly recommend using a brim or raft.
Have fun printing and trying out the toy, and feel free to leave any feedback or suggestions for improvement! :)
