Stronger Cat Armor - No Gaps (remix)

thingiverse

***Please excuse my scruffy dog in the photos, he's been out to battle*** I made some fairly minor changes to make the armour a little stronger and easier to print. I should mention, I just uniformly made the same changes to all files I needed after noticing issues that needed correcting in one file so some will probably have barely changed while others will be significantly different to print that thing's files - it may be that some were fine to begin with, I just did it for consistency across the pieces. I'm pretty lazy so I tried to just stretch the original design out to fit my dog and this created/magnified some minor issues with the stl, namely that on printing the first piece I found that I actually had gaps where the edging wasn't attached to the main part of the print at all. All I've done is set a minimum thickness across the whole model, filled in the gaps and smoothed it all out a little. I was then able to stretch the files with no issues and successfully printed them as pictured. I did have to reduce the file size before uploading but I did import the reduced files into my slicer and compared them to the ones I printed and they seem to be slicing the same so fingers crossed there's no issues there.
