Wanna see a cat wearing 3D printed armor?

March 17, 2016

Have you ever been watching "He-Man" reruns and wondered why you can't have your own Battle Cat?

Have you ever been watching "He-Man" reruns and wondered why you can't have your own Battle Cat? Well now you can, thanks to 3D printing. A new YouTube video from PrintThatThing explains how to print battle armor for your cat.

Andrew Sink at Sink Hacks took up the challenge and used the files to print his own cat armor. According to Andrew, "The suit has a solid feel to it, and is articulated nicely, allowing it to move with the cat! I scaled it down to 95% so it would fit my little cat, but left the tail pieces and stinger at full size. I printed it using Hatchbox Gold ABS Filament, so it would have a metallic look to it!"

Here is a picture of Virginia wearing the cat armor, courtesy of Sink Hacks.

The files have been uploaded to Thingiverse so you too can print armor for your cat.
