The Approved Cat - Your New Desk Manager

🐱 "The Approved Cat" – The relaxed (Lazy) Version

This is it – the model that started it all! The founding member of the Approved Chubby Squad Collection.

This version of the "Approved Cat" is the relaxed variant. She sits with stoic calm on your monitor, watching your Fusion 360 sessions and silently judging every failed print (Yes, she is judging you!).

Want more action? If this cat is too well-behaved for you, be sure to check out her "Evil Twin" – the grinning version, who has even more mischief on her mind!

📏 Fit & Important Scaling Note

• Dimensions: The cat in the standard file is approx 100mm long.
• The gap: The distance from the front paws to the belly is approx 8mm.
• ⚠️ IMPORTANT: 8mm is ideal for ultra-thin laptop displays or tablets. For most desktop monitors or TVs, this gap is too narrow.
• Adjustment: You can easily proportionally scale up the model in the slicer to perfectly adjust the gap for your monitor. A quick measurement of your screen thickness will save you time and filament!

🏠 Applications & Synergies:

• The Classic: It clings perfectly to thin monitors, laptops, or shelf edges.
• Phone Guardian: It was specifically designed to fit as a guardian on top of my Organic Cellular Phone Stand.
• Always with you: Whether on a picture frame or in a camper van – she watches over your setup.

🚀 Efficiency Check & Material

This model is optimized to quickly and material-efficiently land on your table:

• Print Time: Finished in only approx 2.1 hours (tested on A1).
• Material Consumption: Extremely efficient with only approx 22g filament (including supports).
• Material Recommendation: The model in the photos was printed with Sunlu PETG for a perfect finish. But you can also use PLA or any other material of your choice – it looks good in any color! 👉 Order Sunlu PETG directly here (Affiliate Link)

⚙️ Print Settings (Optimized in the .3mf)

I strongly recommend using the provided .3mf file to achieve the best result without headaches:

• Layer Height: ✅ Variable layer height is already activated. This ensures noticeably smoother surfaces on the curves of the head and back.
• Walls & Infill: 2 walls for stability and 15% Grid infill are completely sufficient.
• Supports: ✅ Normal supports pre-set. They provide the most stable base for the paws and can be removed without residue after printing.

⚡ Bambu Lab Verified

Every design is perfected by me on the Bambu Lab X1C or A1. I optimize every model down to the last detail for FDM printing, extracting everything technically possible. Load, print, fits.

💎 Material Recommendation

I use Sunlu PETG/PLA – reliable and AMS-ready. 👉 Filament:   Here I order my filament (Affiliate Link)
