A twist on a classic cat string toy, but finger version for easier play. 

 

____________

Finger holder is the main part that goes on your finger (duh!), and you can easily resize it in your slicer to fit your finger. The default diameter of the hole inside is 14mm.

Another essential part of the toy is the ball, whilst the optional (but highly encouraged because cats love it!) part is the rattleball.

 

So how to print this if you want it to rattle? 

First you gotta print the rattleball separately and have it ready. 
After you have your rattleball printed and ready, use included sliced gcode for PLA Ball, which is set to stop in the middle and request the colour change. You can simply use that time to put the rattleball. You can change colour if you'd like.. Or you don't have to. 

You can also slice the Ball in a way that suits you if you wanna use this method.

I included few photos to show the process. It's a bit wonky, but it gets the job done! 

 

____________

I advise the following settings:

Holder: PLA, 5% infill, brim, no supports

Ball: PLA, 5% infill, brim, no supports

Rattleball: PLA, 30%-60% infill, brim, no supports

 

____________

Add string, and optional additional strings and have fun. ≽^•⩊•^≼
