Printing without support yields impressive results! Cat toy A calls for inserting a structure inside, where you can place some cat food to entice your feline friend. Cat toys B and C require adding a steel ball measuring between 10mm and 15mm during the printing process. Printing without support is essential here because the slicer would fill support material inside. After reaching z=20mm, use glue or ABS-juice to stabilize the object on the print bed due to its poor footprint. Cat toys B and C feature very small holes on one side, caused by OpenSCAD's inability to process hidden cavities. Remember to check if your slicer offers the "avoid crossing perimeters" option. Older versions of Slic3r may have this button, but it doesn't function as expected. I use version 1.2.9 (Linux), and this option seems to affect the outcome, although not in a positive way.
