Funny Cat Phone Stand / Holder

This is what happens when you live with a teenager who has a dubious sense of humor.  He gave his friend a plush cat which exposed his nuts when seating; no doubt some inside joke. 😂

I was handed this picture with a request - the origin of this design is unknown. I think my version came out just fine especially the cat's expression.

I have only one nozzle so I had to be creative with the design so I could use 5 colors; hence, some minor assembly required.

• Printer: Prusa MINIIS

• Filament: Sunlu PLA

• Nozzle (1): 0.25

• Layer height: 0.12

• Infill: 20% gyroid

• Colors:

  • black for the back of the cat, its pupils and mouth, and its tail

  • chocolate for its fur

  • red for the tongue

  • white for the teeth

  • cream for the rest

• Cat body:

  • Filament change from black > chocolate > cream for the cat body - when will depend on the layer height you use.

  • no brim

  • organic/tree supports are painted on the back of the cat where overhangs could cause issues, see picture

• Parts printed separately:

  • Colors

    • black > pupils and tail

    • red > tongue

    • white > teeth

  • Crucial to have excellent adhesion using a calibrated printer, a squeaky clean plate, and a 6mm brim (see picture with all on one plate only to exemplify - each color had its own plate in the slicer)

  • no supports

• Assembly - these parts are meant to stay so it will take a little coaxing to get them in:

  • Teeth - they can be tiny, best peeling them off the plate one by one and insert each immediately into their rightful spot as they are in the correct orientation/order.

    • they will stick out - on purpose

  • Tongue - press it in

  • Pupils - press those in, they should go slightly below the surface

  • Tail - insert in the back of the cat

Happy printing!
