Cat Toy Ball
thingiverse
Create popular cat toys with hollow spheres and cut-out slots for kittens to play with. These simple shapes are great for their lightweight design. After analyzing the geometry, use these as an introductory lesson in 3D CAD modeling through boolean transforms. On my blog (http://netninja.com/2012/03/24/from-atoms-to-bits-to-atoms-a-cat-toys-journey/), you can find the step-by-step process of creating this model. Additionally, a fully parametric OpenSCAD file is provided for your use. Printing instructions include using 2 shells in Print-O-Matic settings and possibly enabling printing supports and rafts in ReplicatorG if using a MakerBot or similar printer. In the revision history, find improvements such as rotating the design to increase resilience against drooping, which may eliminate the need for supports.
