Cattle ear tags

thingiverse

Identification ear tags have always been a problem. If you use blank tags and write with an ear tag pen, they fade and become unreadable. I you use commercially printed, (ink, not 3d) tags, you need to order a lot of tags, they are expensive and if you lose one you cannot replace it with the same number. 12 months ago I tried my first 3d printed ear tags and so far have had 100% success. They are printed from TPU and are extremely durable, easy to read and can be printed as required. They work out a lot cheaper too. You can change colours for year, sex, paddock identification. They fit the standard ear tag applicator gun. http://www.leaderproducts.com.au/products/flexible-tag-applicator-standard The male part needs to be purchased separately as you would normally do for commercial ear tags. https://www.allflex.com.au/our-products/cattle-products/product/male-button-01 To customize your own tags, copy this workspace in Onshape and edit the text and size as required. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5863832aeed541b703b8579a/w/a5c30d8d412f17253335b119/e/c1d6dfc8dbf670c13c504623 Here is a screencast I made to assist you in editing the text. https://youtu.be/BBkoqZsQ8L4
