Be the life of the ball or gala - wear a mask today! -=Design=- Inspired by Audrey2's stunning Bunny Mask, I designed this cat mask in Blender after noticing its absence from the scene. After experimenting with paper mache copies and countless hours of tinkering, I'm proud to present my replica. -=Printing Instructions=- Find both the full mask and a cut version in the files. Print both versions with supports, unless you print the full version - then skip the pins. You'll need six whiskers in total: two on each side. If you use less than 20% fill, boost the wall thickness. I designed this for larger heads like mine; adjust as needed. -=Construction=- For the cut version, insert three pins into provided holes to align both halves perfectly and add stability. The whiskers will fit snugly into slots - Whisker1 is at the bottom, Whisker2 in the middle, and Whisker3 on top. Use normal super glue to secure the whiskers and mask halves together. -=Finishing=- I printed my version in ABS and smoothed it with acetone after sanding. Once glued, I applied Squadron's putty thinned with liquid cement to fill cracks, sanded lightly, primed gray, and painted with acrylic hobby paint.
