Stitching Pony For Leather

Description

This is a stitching pony for leatherwork / leathercraft or other stitching activities. It folds into itself for easy storage. It is designed to be a long-lasting item that can withstand some abuse while not breaking the bank and taking up too much space.

Printing Instructions

This is a tool. It's supposed to be an alternative to solid wood stitching ponies. Do yourself the favor and don't cheap out on the infill percentage or material. Take your time, don't rush things, you'll just end up with a lot of waste if you do. Here's my recommendations (they're pre-configured in the .3mf file). 

• Material: PETG (PLA also works)

• Infill: 50-70 %

• Infill Type: Gyroid

• Layer Height 0.2 mm

• Profile: Structural / Slow

• 4 Heat Set Insert M8x12.7

• 1 M5x45 Screw (Socket Head Cap, M5x40 or M5x50 should also be fine)
