Cat/Pet Leg Brace

Summary: Reinvented Wrist Brace Concept Remixed from PLA Wrist Brace Design. Please note that I'm not a veterinarian and this concept is meant solely for demonstrating design ideas. Consult your local vet if your pet is injured. Instructions: - Print the wrist brace with PLA or other low-temp filaments to allow post-printing thermoforming. - Print flat, positioning strap loops on the upper surface without support structures, as I didn't require them. - Form the shape by briefly submerging the printed part in boiling water or using a hairdryer to heat it up. Once heated, the part becomes pliable for a few seconds. I manually shaped it and test-fitted it to a cat's leg, repeating the process as needed, carefully dipping only the areas I wanted to shape into boiling water.
