Description
Prosthetic for the left hind leg of a Breyer Horse, Freedom series, trot pose.
In the rare chance that your Breyer Horse is this type and pose and is missing the same part of the same leg, then this prosthetic is for you!
Maybe the Fusion 360 file will be of most use to see the process of how I created this leg. In the next version, I would add more horizontal slice profiles to better constrain the shape of the leg during the loft operation.
This horse is named Blaze.
I used a 2 mm brim and random seam placement. Print on hoof with opening facing upwards. No supports needed.
Some stringing in the interior with PETG.
After printing and before the prosthetic fully cools, I pushed the broken horse leg into the prosthetic so that the prosthetic can better form around the broken leg. I removed some of the stringing, but the excess strings probably helped fill in some gaps and achieve a tighter fit in the end.
