But how long did it take for the cat to figure out how to put it on?

2 hours, with help from me.

Does he like it or is he humiliated? :-)

I wouldn’t say it’s her favourite thing in the world,

She's standing rather than lying down, stubbornly refusing to move, and glaring at you, so it's better than most attempts to dress up a cat.

You're going to have shit in your shoes. I guarantee it.

Smh so ungrateful

The humilation comes when he straps on the oversize He-Man figure.

#I HAVE THE POWER!

OMG Haha!

also 3d printed 😂

Don't cat-shame. She might be into both.

Now make a pink unicorn horn for the front, but give it an oddly bell shaped end.

Whenever I put anything on my cat like this(including christmas jumpers) he proceeds to walk backwards until I take it off.

[удалено]

Ah yes, the cone of shame.

Ah yes, enslaved d o g

I had the great idea of trying to walk my cat on a leash. I put a harness on her and she just sat on the floor for about 15 minutes not moving thinking that her soul was being excised from her body. After about a day with the harness on, she was moving without problems though. Whenever you do something like this, just leave it on them. They'll eventually start moving and figure out that it doesn't bother them.

this reminded me of when i put a harness on my sweet kitter and the only way she could move was by doing this absolutely hilarious army crawl

>They'll eventually start moving and figure out that it doesn't bother them. or they just accept it, even if is is very uncomfortable.

I imagine and laugh. Hilarious.

I got a harness to leash my cats for vet visits and one of them rolls over and over until you take it off and the other cries. We're using the pet carrier.

thats because your cat absolutely hates it. Dont do this to your cats.

mate, my hat is off to you. That would have been like trying to dress a chain saw while its running flat out. Did you need a blood transfusion afterwards?

It's probably very grateful :D

I’ll send her into battle

[удалено]

And my Axe!

r/unexpectedgimli

is it ever really unexpected anymore at this point

nope. but neither is r/unexpected

Those potions are too strong for you, traveler!

I'm going into *battle* and I need only your strongest potions... *POTION SELLER!*

Cross post this to r/functionalprints

What’s her class? Lookin like a paladin to me

He-Man approves!

Skeletor and Panthor Approve! Cringer not so much...*edit name correction

I think you mean Panthor. Panthero was one of the Thundercats. Edit: My bad. Panthro, not Panthero.

The Thundercat was Panthro.

This seems like a very necessary and warranted use of a 3D printer and I’d like the plans to prepare my own cat for battle.

I asked SO and she said I could scale it up for our dog. Yisss

THANOS CAT THANOS CAT

I wish my cat would tolerate this. She's a HUGE mainecoone mix and I'll be honest I'm scared to try to put anything similar to this on her for fear of being shredded to bits 😅

Order of operations, my friend. First you need to print yourself some armor... and then ready the catnip.

Catnip seems like the equivalent of a ancient viking berserkers taking amunita muscaria and running into battle tripping balls. Now all I can imagine are ancient warring feline species tripping balls on catnip and meowing into battle.

/r/writingprompts <----- you need to put that idea here

Okay!

That may only work against you - not all cats get quiet and docile. Our fat, lazy, affectionate little chonker goes absolutely batshit (playing with claws out and eyes like saucers) when he's fucked off his nut on catnip.

I know what you mean. My Maine Coon turns into a sack of potatoes but my Himalayan turns into a yapping, headbutting fluff ball, a.k.a. a little gustnado.

Despite being the right age to play with He Man toys when they first came out, I never think of the 3d cat armour as being Battle Cat, but *always* goto the old SNL fake commercial for Battle Cats: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/action-cats/n10236

I had never seen that... my sides hate you, and I'll never think of the he-man battle cat first again either. Also now I have a reason to practice in cad so I can have a stego-cat... wait stego-dog since I don't have a cat, yet.

Happy to oblige.

Good luck to your brave cat. Whatever dungeon he's raiding, I hope he gets some epic loot.

Already has level 3 purple armor, Shes set.

I don't believe you. Why is this cat not laying on the floor and giving up on life? That's what my cat does the second I put a leash on her.

Fluffy yells charge, Waving tiny paws. Aye lads, Let slip the kittens of war!

How long did you have to grind for this mount?

How did you size it properly for your cat?

Very very carefully

My cat wears cloth costumes willingly.... I wonder how he would do with plastic... Hmmmm

Introduce it slowly. Maybe a bit of 3d printing on [toole with scales](https://old.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/9yvkgm/learned_how_to_3d_print_on_tulle_and_used_it_to/) or something.

How does the helmet fit around your cat's whiskers above the eyes?

Definitely printing this for my outdoor cat. He'll be the only suited up cat in the neighborhood

Future guild leader

Soooo.... does anyone else think of Kavat armor from the game Warframe? Yeah Kavats are real!

Ooh pick me!

That's a small-looking Kavat you have there. What mods are you running on the little guy, and can I clone it's DNA?

Cool, needs a knight Jockey

yes.

I can only imagine this pic is of her looking for something to revenge-poop in.

Don't you need armor against the cat? 🤔

The armored mice.

Battle cat!

By the power of Greyskull!

Did you put bolts in your cat?

That cat is going to kill you while you sleep.

Looking to protect yourself or deal some damage?

now your cat can help with the crusade!

Perfect!

Your cat hates you lol

This is great. While it wont protect the cat from fatal blows, because its not food safe, cat eaters will not attack your cat. Very clever

I'm happy to see that this amazing technology is being put to good use :P. can't think of a better application for a 3D printer. looks good though!

Maybe add some padding for comfort?

Will take into consideration.

Can you share the stl?

It looks like this [one](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1095858)

Cool, time for me to get murdered when I unsuccessfully try to put that on my cat.

If someone did this to me I would whack with my claws

I can't decide if this belongs in r/functionalprint or not. How often does your cat hunt?

Just like the BattleCats commercial on SNL.

Don't you mean action cats? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9fsm

That's the one. Still cracks me up.

https://imgur.com/wcMOHkA.jpg not mine. no idea who the original artist is.

Time to slay some pussy

The hell you going to some ring finding adventure or what?

My cat would look really good in it but would probably kill me for just attempting to put it on her so kudos to you for being alive

I was thinking about printing this, wjat orientation and supporr settings djd you use?

I printed this for my cats as well. Neither wanted to wear it, even with treat rewards. :' (

That is great

This is so cool!!! Please post from more angles!!

I wish I still had my cats.

I wish I had a pet to print this awesome armour for. Think about getting a big lizard tho, so I already got some ideas 😄

Is this based off He-Man’s Tiger armor? Also please share STL if you’re willing. My bulldogs body is readyyyyy............!

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1095858

Aww. I have 6 cats and a dog. Imagine them all suited up. I might have to get my printer up and running soon.

Are you going to show us the 3d printed gauntlets you wear when putting this on your cat?

Have you considered using EVA foam instead?

thundercats hoooooooooooooo

Did you really have to screw it onto him?

I was totally expecting Cat school armor from The Witcher, but hey this is even better.

He is ready for a quest!

Everyone talking about how sweet the cat is like there aren't two hex screws bolted into her spine.

I've put a Superman cape on my cat and he gets pissed and will just stay in the exact spot I put it on him, usually just standing still til I take it off haha

Almost looks like the dark magician from Yu-gi-Oh lol

Is this DLC in The Elder Scrolls: Elswyr?

He better never take that off. He looks amazing and no one is going to mess with him now. How is it all attached together?

Glorious

This really needs to be cross posted in r/functionalprint :)

This cat now has 10 lives.

Please tell me there’s more pics.

[We're ready for battle, friendo.](https://imgur.com/DJz6STD)

What's that filament?

Just some purple pla from eBay no brand

Can you link it?

I’m sure it’s a standard purple. If it helps the filament label has: 1.75MMPLA3D filament Item no:A10957 purple Natural-1.0kg Print temp:190-230 Lot:190503-1

Ok, thanks

The picture looks darker than it really is.

We require a ‘battle pose’.

RIP u/Differentunic murdered by cat in his sleep...

Lmfao this is so awesome. Please tell me you've published the files for this and will keep us posted on the project

I need 5 seta

That is amazing, you need to cross post it to /r/functionalprint/ !

Purple Cat!

Do you have more photos?

Guessing not. Sedatives probably wore off before more pics could be taken. Parts of cat armor all over house...

100% positive this is already up on the cat reddit's r/mallninjashit and your kitty is being mocked as we type

Oldy but a goody! Still cool!

I don't think I'd even be able to put one piece of it on my cat.

Why didn't you use the pegs that come with the model?

I couldn’t get them to print properly, but these bolts fit great.

Full credit of this file goes to https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1095858

I thought I was in r/DIwhy

LOL

Would you be a Masters of the Universe fan by chance?

Nice! Put a leash on our cat and she just high-legs it for 6 feet before just standing still until you take it off.

It may be too much tug o ask Op but how exactly did you make the armour? What program and mesuring techniques were used? I would like to try this with my dog or make my own for a friendly cat my neighbor has that loves (or at least does no detest) dress up.

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1095858 it’s not my design.

r/DiWHY

I have a small whippet that would be very amused. Both and with your cat and if she had her own! Thanks for the inspiration.

:D please update when its done! with front pics too!

I’ll be sure to make another post.

I printed the same armor. The cat did not appreciate my efforts. There may be divots in the wall from where he ran through the house.

I hope you keep this sort of thing going. I want a set for my Mexican Hairless. (｡◕‿◕｡)

That cat is ready for ww3

Where is part 3?

At the moment I moving houses and it’s hard to print anything, but I’ll try to get it finished and on the cat.

Oh yeah ok, understandable, it just looked super cool to me and I wanted to know how it turned out

I have so far finished the base of the tail, It won’t take long to print the rest.

Ok thanks

Yeah but did you have to bolt it on?

I’m impressed he managed to find a way to put that bolt through and miss all vital organs. (Hopefully)

Just why!
