Cat in the Hat Car

thingiverse

The is the wacky cat's clean up car. You can add all manner of items to the hands. I modeled the fish, fish tank, and broom and included them here. I just glued them to the hand with SuperGlue. I "distressed" the car and steering wheel with bumps and bends after printing to keep it more in the spirit of the cat. You can use a heat gun (or immerse the parts in hot water, then pull them out to manipulate them). Be careful not to burn yourself! The colored pipe cleaners work great for the arms. Kids can twist them around for fun and when you hold the car in your hand they wave around, which I find very humorous. I drilled holes for the pipe cleaners using 1/16 inch drill (the smallest I had) and that worked fine. I didn't model the holes since they have to be so small for the pipe cleaners, you'd have to use a probe or drill bit to clear the space anyway. The drilling procedure takes less them 2 minutes. If you will need to print 7 hands.
