Hello fellow 3D printers, I’m Jwall and today’s design was requested by my cool

little cat, Bobo. He asked me a while ago if I could make him some Cat Armor to protect

him against the dangers of the world and also double as his Halloween costume. So of course

I said YES and we began prototyping immediately.

We started off with a drawing of how we wanted the overall look and vibe of the armor to

be. I suggested it should have spikes on it because I always pet him in reverse to make his

hair all crazy and he looks like a spiky tiger!

Once Bobo approved the sketch we went into 3D Modeling. The modeling took FOREVER... and we tweaked and tweaked and tweaked

until Bobo felt the design was good enough to wear.

And BOOM! Bobo’s Cat Armor is complete! Now all cats all over the world can roam safely.

The entire design can be built with 100% 3D Printable parts or you can use some brass

fasteners to hold the armor together. Personal preference. We even left a little hole in the back for the leash,

a name tag ring on the chestplate, right below the catnip holder. The tail attaches using

3D Printed rings & then these spike tips that you run 1.75 PLA filament through to quickly

attach and detach the tail... from the backside.

We would still like to add a helmet to Cat Armor. So we thought I’d be cool if we opened

the project to more collaborations and asked if any of my subscribers out there would be

interested in helping us out with the Helmet Design? Bobo and I will pick the winner and

design the helmet around your design then send you this full cat armor with helmet to

your house for free! So feel free to do some helmet sketches and send your idea to any

of my PrintThatThing socials and I’ll find them.

Thanks for watching. Would love to see photos of your cat wearing armor if you print it.

Please feel free to subscribe if you like 3D printing and we'll see yall next time.
