My Lovely Cat Photoframe

thingiverse

I made this photoframe for my little cat Minou. WOOD OR PLA? The project includes both the version made of wood by laser cutting machine (with 3D printing of only the fasteners on the back cover) and the whole version printed in 3D with sliding insertable backside. I later made two other versions (changing only the names) for the kitten of a couple of my friends (Sibilla) and my daughter-in-law's kitten (Harry Potter). Photoframe dimension: 198x250x11 mm Photo zone dimension: 100x150 mm In the 3D printed version, the compartment is closed by a sliding door in a guide made in the frame that includes the support rod. In the wooden version, it is a rectangular piece of wood to which the supporting rod is attached through a small zipper, the latter fastened by nails topped with a hammer on the opposite side of the hinge (see photo). In the wooden version, since my laser cutting machine is working at a maximum of 18x24 cm, I have reduced the original dimensions directly in the cutting/engraving software 3 times obtaining a final dimension of 110x138x1.1 mm and a photo compartment of 55x82 mm. Alternatively, you can make the front of wood and the back printed in 3D. In this case, you will have to use the Backframe.stl Coverback.stl and Backstand.stl files to print the back parts.
