Catnip Chase Toy
Description
A wee catnip toy for your furry friend.. 50mm high small holes, 50mm hight 1mm holes, and 75mm high 1mm holes.. Print at 0.3mm layer height. You need to add a custom GCode Pause at height command to add the catnip/ herbs, in Cura Extensions->Post Processing->Modify-GCode and add pause at height. Pause at about half way up just over. DO NOT DISABLE MOTORS! It is best to wrap about a teaspoon or of mixed catnip and chopped valerian root in a teabag envelope, just glue it shut again with a little gluestick, if you dont the cooling fans will likely blow some out of the cup and make a mess! It did not screw up my print but it was all over the printer by the time it had finished LOL Make sure its pressed into the half toy and not sicking up above the rim at all before continuing the print on the printer display! A good quality catnip with valerian root will last longer than you think, I have made catnip toys for people that are now 10 years old and STILL the cats love them.. So no real need for fancy screw tops to refill, just use decent stuff to start with. There are two versions, one has very tiny holes, still lets out enough scent for cats to react and will theoretically last even longer, and two with 1mm holes which will be more potent (my cats are desensitised due to the large quantities of catnip I use for toys so like a bigger "hit") The toy spins and rolls like crazy on a laminate floor! Followed by a cat doing pretty much the same! I have included the Freecad file if anyone uses it and wants to edit easily, its not very elegant but its just a simple design, it should not suffer any topological naming issues as all references are to planes or datum planes from the base origins. The Freecad file is parametric, so you can change height, wall thickness and hole diameter easily. As always, if you need help feel free to message me or contact through facebook where you can see video of the toy being made and played with.. https://www.facebook.com/LouiseTGUK/posts/4360215830740339
