Pet Trainer

I discovered this "Pet Corrector" at my local pet store (second picture). It's a fantastic product that works flawlessly, but at 14 bucks per can for 50 shots and the amount of correcting I have to do with my four dogs, I needed to find a more affordable solution. So, a bit of work in Fusion360 and some PLA later, and voila! I've created a Pet Corrector for three bucks per can and a couple hundred shots. The shape of the nozzle amplifies the sound, while the deflector in the middle prevents liquid vapor from hitting the animal. Attached are two files: "Pet Small" and "Pet Large," which refer to the size of the nozzle depending on the air can you purchase. The large one fits around 7mm or 9/32", while the small one fits around 6.25mm or 1/4". I've printed this with and without supports, and both worked fine. However, getting the supports out of the center of the nozzle beneath the deflector was quite tedious. **A word of caution: this device is intended to correct unwanted behavior, such as excessive barking or bullying, by creating a startling noise to break the animal's focus. It is not, I repeat NOT, a defensive device to ward off an attack.
