cat badge

When printed out, I saw how the light burst forth and shines brightly, bringing the copper filament to life in a fantastic model. I had to try one smaller to see if it would make a badge, so I reduced the size to 30% and glued a cheap broach pin to the back. The result was great, so I thought I'd make a handful and take them down to my local pharmacy next time as a little thank you for keeping us going through these troubling times. I wasn't prepared for their reaction - they were astounded, just like me! But more interestingly, other customers on seeing them pinned to lapels wanted to know if they could have one too. So off I went back home to make a few more and thought why not make a collection box where customers could buy one and all the proceeds could go to COVID-19 charities? I called it "The Sleeping Cat" to honor those we've lost and are losing every day, and for the angels working in the medical profession who heal the sick. I designed a simple collection box to hold them too - it's my first attempt at using Tinkercad, so it's not brilliant but is fit for purpose. I'll add this under "The Sleeping Cat".
