Hoof Covers for Digitigrade Stilts

thingiverse

These 3-D printed hoof covers for digitigrade stilts were crafted by my wife to complete her Satyr Renaissance Fair costume. Simple wooden stilts that mimic the digitigrade form can be easily made using online tutorials. The lightweight yet durable 3-D printed covers look fantastic and are a major plus, allowing all of the wearer's weight to rest squarely on the stilts themselves. These custom covers were designed for ~85 mm wide (1x4 lumber) stilts; you may need to make adjustments for your own project. After printing, just smooth out any rough spots and paint them up, then secure with wood glue and/or screws. I've included the Blender source file along with two STL format variants of the hoof - left leg and right leg versions, each with subtle differences between them.
