Cat Deterrent

Human: Life Lesson: Our cats love getting in front of the TV. To get them to move, I started tossing stuffed animals at them. Our first daughter was two years old at the time and witnessed my solution. However, she decided that the hard toy would be acceptable, and as a result, the three-week-old TV developed a star-shaped crack. That was a life lesson. Fast forward four years, and our second daughter is bouncing around. On her own, she threw a toy at the cat and cracked the TV again. Now the TV has two stars. I'm really sad about it. We tried using sticky tape, but it was a total mess. Out of desperation, I modified the scad file I found to create the Spikey Cat Deterrent 3000. It works amazingly well. There are no more cats in front of the TV. If I had had a 3D printer and printed one of these years ago, there's a good possibility that my TV wouldn't be cracked. Print Settings: Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa Mendel Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: 20 or less Notes: I have a 0.5mm nozzle and printed with 0.39mm layer height because I wanted it done quickly and didn't care about the ridges.
