This seemingly-impossible 3d print is a print-in-place toy for your cat to enjoy and make lots of noise rolling around. I made it non-spherical to make it more difficult for the cats to lose it by rolling it under the couch.

Inspired by Carl Belcher's Print in Place Impossible Cat Toy (Link), although this part was created entirely by me in fusion360.

The entire thing is large enough to not pose a significant choking hazard, and the ball itself is also too large to be swallowed whole by my cat (trust me, he always tries!)

I'd love to see all of your makes posted so I can get a glimpse of your furry friends :)

Edit: Added smoother version, which will likely require a brim to print.

Given the feedback, you may need to use supports for this. I personally did not need to on the X1 Carbon, but I did have it going much slower than normal and put the aux fan on full blast.

Happy printing!
