Forelimb prosthetics for medium-sized pets and small ones provide vital support for pets whose unfortunate fate includes missing their front legs. This aid features a one-piece design that offers comfort, affordability, and impressive versatility thanks to its low weight, articulated limbs, and exceptional adaptability.

You can now customize size for individual components from within your slicer software program by simply adapting to the needs of each pet's measurements. The complete project file in Sketchup skp format offers you limitless opportunities to adjust this prosthetic specifically to suit the dimensions of that unique, beloved friend. For ideal print results using a 0.2mm slice height and infill level set at 40%, there is no need for additional support during the printing process. In an effort to help customization come easily, you've been provided with three distinct STL files for this forelimb prosthetic project: the PAW replaces any missing section of the pet's leg, securing firmly in place; the SHOE component wraps around and secures snugly onto the stump itself; while the ARTICULATION component offers comprehensive movement capabilities all the way down to the forearm. Each individual piece can be easily resized as required within your slicer program, ensuring a perfectly precise fit every time they are used in conjunction with one another to form the completed prosthetic.
