Recently, I had a request for a single paw print clicker, similar to my first ever posted larger paw print. The result is today's release, Pet Paw Clickers, which I think turned out soooo cute! This pack includes both cat and dog paw prints!
I initially designed this as a flat option, but wanted to do something to make the pawprint stand out a little more. This led to a raised option which I loved enough that it immediately got a place on my backpack I carry to work everyday! As an additional bonus, this raised option for the caps can easily be printed with a single color change on non-multi material printers!
Both the flat and raised options are included in this release, as I know everyone will have their own preferences! I hope you you like! ๐พ
Like most of my designs, this is a clicky design that requires a mechanical keyboard switch to make the clicky part. These models have been tested with both the Kailh Bronze and Kailh White clickers but the White clickers are much nicer in my opinion. This design should be compatible with most MX style keyboard switches, however, the two metal contacts on the bottom of the switch must be clipped off flush (or folded over) to ensure the switch seats properly in the base (this is a destructive process). A 7mm keyring file is included as well as a larger, 3.5mm diameter keyring hole to allow a beaded chain to be used!
This pack contains a raised and flat paw for both a kitty and doggy paw print for a total of 4 paw designs!. The flat paws have an extra file called Extra White (EW) that will print 2 layers on the toe beans instead of just one to make that color a little brighter when printing against a dark base. The bases are provided with the standard keychain configurations, none, 7mm and 3.5 diameter keyring.
(all flat caps are saved as .3mf only)
3D Printing Settings:
Layer Height: 0.2mm (recommended)
External Perimeter (Outer Wall): 0.33mm (recommended)
Scale: 100% (Everything is modeled with tight tolerances and should not need to be resized)
Orientation: Print the caps face down so you have a smooth surface for clicking! (recommended for flat)
NOTE: I've found the best way to get the most crisp details on the paws is to start with the smallest details first and work up from there. Here is the order I recommend after LOTS of trial and error:
Pink (Toe beans)
Everything else (base colors)
I've also found hitting the print with a heat gun right before the main body color starts printing will eliminate any little strings that can cause blemishes on the final design.
โ ๏ธWARNINGโ ๏ธ - This pack requires very good bed adhesion to ensure the best possible results for your finished clicker. It is recommended to clean your bed with soap and water before printing or whatever your specific printer manufacturer recommends for a deep bed clean!
