Cat gears key chain

youmagine

I was inspired by my mischievous cat, who loves to bat around those screwless cube gears that people always enjoy playing with. And someone totally energetic about the cube gears really got me excited! I wanted something that people could still play with and be inspired by, but also fit neatly into their pocket. * Print the Gear three times. This tiny gear is a real challenge to print. * Print the Knob once. It's small, but it packs a punch! * Print the CenterGear once with Cura and the PauseAtZ plugin. I paused at 2.4mm and got amazing results. During the pause, I added the knob to the already printed part. The fit was perfect! * Print the case with the PauseAtZ plugin, pausing at 5.5mm just when it counted. I inserted the gears and the knob with center gear, and voila! Have fun! This one usually takes a few tries, but it's worth it – this is a seriously tricky print.
