Modular Cat Pole

🌟 Modular Cat Pole – Twist. Lock. Climb. 🌟

The Modular Cat Pole is the ultimate 3D-printed playground, made primarily for cats but also suitable for ferrets and other small animals. Made from pet-friendly, durable PETG plastic, it’s designed with your furry friends in mind. PETG is known for being safe and non-toxic, making it an excellent choice for pets. Unlike some other plastics, PETG is free from harmful chemicals, ensuring your pets can safely interact with it during their playtime and rest. Transform leftover Bambu filament spool cores into a fun, interactive, and stylish climbing structure. With a unique twist-and-lock mechanism, assembling your pet's new favorite hangout is a breeze—just twist the 3D-printed connectors into place, and let the fun begin!

The Modular Cat Pole is made up of five parts:

1. Wall Mount – The part that attaches the pole securely to the wall.
2. Middle Connecting Pieces – These connect the poles to form endless configurations.
3. Face Cap – Also known as the end cap, but with a fun cat face design, adding a playful touch to the structure.
4. Screw Caps – These caps feature paw designs and cover the mounting screws for a sleek, clean look.
5. #8 Drywall Screws and Plastic Anchors – The essential screw and plastic anchor combo ensures a secure attachment to the wall.

The more you print, the bigger the adventure! Expand your cat’s (or pet's) kingdom by combining poles of varying lengths to create wild 3D designs that stretch the imagination. Whether a single pole is used as a scratching post or hundreds of poles come together to create a labyrinth of excitement, or even a bay of tranquil rest, your pet will have endless opportunities to climb, rest, and play!

Create a home that’s also art! The Modular Cat Pole system is not just functional—it’s also a canvas for your creativity. The design is as artistic and creative as you want it to be, allowing you to build a visually stunning playground that doubles as a unique piece of home décor. Plus, it makes valuable use of your wall space, allowing you to provide endless fun for your pets without taking up precious floor space.

Play with dimensions! Placing poles of different lengths near each other can create unique 3D effects off the walls, from shadows to paths and other visual effects. Let your pet’s playground double as a dynamic work of art that changes with the angles and light in the room.

Made from PETG plastic, the Modular Cat Pole is built to handle the toughest play. The poles are very sturdy, able to withstand even the most energetic tumbles, spins, and pounces your pets can throw at them. Whether your cat is racing up and down, or your pet is bouncing around, these poles are strong enough to support even the fattest cats' naps!

For a secure setup, each pole requires 4 screws and anchors to mount it securely to the wall. Caps are included to cover and hide the wall mount screws, giving the poles a sleek, clean look.

A printable PDF will be included to help mark the wall for precise mounting, ensuring a quick and easy setup.

When the cardboard cores become worn out over time, they can easily be replaced, allowing you to continue providing your pets with a fresh, safe climbing experience. Plus, worn-out cardboard cores and any poles that have reached the end of their lifespan are fully recyclable, making the Modular Cat Pole even more eco-friendly!

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️
USE ONLY #8 DRYWALL SCREWS
The #8 drywall screws are specifically required because the screw caps have just the right tolerance to fit securely. Using screws of a different size may cause issues with the mounting.

CAUTION:
Do not exceed 6 cores wide when connecting poles. Going beyond 6 cores wide may cause instability or difficulty in securing the poles. Also, be sure the poles are not too close together, as this can make it difficult to properly place the screw caps. Always take caution and ensure proper spacing and support for safety.
