Hoof Covers for Digitigrade Stilts

thingiverse

These are 3-D printed hoof covers for digitigrade stilts my wife made for her Satyr Renaissance Fair costume. The stilts are simple wooden digitigrade stilts that were pretty easy to make (you can find several tutorials online). The 3-D printed covers look great, and more importantly, are lightweight and durable. As these are covers only, all the weight of the wearer is on the stilts themselves. These covers are made for ~85 mm wide (1x4 lumber) stilts; you may need to adjust them for your own project. After printing, smooth it out and paint, then attach with wood glue and/or screws. I included the Blender source file, along with two variants of the hoof in STL format. The two variants are left and right leg versions, and have some subtle changes between them.
