How wonderful! Also, please tell me you at least _considered_ naming it the "Snoot Boot…"
haha actually i missed that
This is so awesome! I actually think, with a few tweaks this can be a really great protection against foxtails.
Foxtails are extremely lethal and can lead to thousands of dollars in vet bills. All current protections in the market are effectively a bag over your pet’s face, which as you can imagine, are not that popular with the pets.
I like that the creator is giving the STL away for free
It's awesome, lots of kudos to the creator for doing so! Personally I'm more likely to buy things where the authors makes the schematic/3D object/whatever available for free for the DIY people out there, and those who couldn't otherwise get the thing to them for one or another reason.
> I know there are other dogs and owners out there facing similar struggles. That’s why I’m sharing this design for free. While it’s not adjustable by design, it should fit medium-to-large dogs as is. If needed, measurements can be adjusted using the scaling feature in your slicer software, but some slots, like those for the straps, might deform in the process.
Only missing for it to be a parametric design people could easily adjust based on their own measurements, but trivial to change yourself too, so again, lots of thanks to the author for improving the whole world, not just a tiny piece of it.
The shop customizes measurements. Is it easy to modify the STL with custom measurements?
Not trivial, but not impossible either. Usually though the product would be designed in some CAD program, and when the shop customizes measurements they adjust them manually based on copies of the model. The "pro" way would be to have a parametrized version, but it's also trickier to create. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm getting the vibe the author picked up modelling/3D printing as they went along, so the easier route would be hardcoded values changed for each customer.
Creator here,
Thanks for the kind words
It's been a really harsh and long process to CAD this model, it's also really complex to change measurements for it.
As I do wish to have a simpler version for customizing, for now by taking people orders I might either build a new parametric model, or have a growing "bank" of models and measurements to share for free like the main version.
This is pretty awesome, regardless when it was originally done.
Thanks!
Billie is a good dog.
Thanks! She is quite amazing actually!
cool. i wish okie had been diagnosed with DLE :(

https://amosdudley.com/weblog/Designing-PPE-for-Hilde has a story of designing a 3d print for foxtails.
wow that's a nice one
Billie is lucky to have such a dexterous owner!

This isn't an issue. People frequently repost old stuff. Some get repeated almost every year.
