Halloween Stress Relief Pumpkin Cat (3D printed shaft body, can also be installed with keyboard shafts)

Halloween Stress Relief Pumpkin Cat (Pressable)

A cute-shaped decompression key toy

2024.10.7 Update:

1. Added Pumpkin Split Printing (Eyes and mouth printed separately after splitting) configuration. This print file includes two split pumpkin bases. The eyes, mouth, and nose on the pumpkin are printed separately and installed on the pumpkin base. Suitable for users without AMS multicolor printing (Note that there are two pumpkin print files inside. One is a pure 3D printed version and the other is for mechanical keyboard shafts. Choose the print you need. The two are not interchangeable).

2. Added Pumpkin with Wiring Holes (Requires Keyboard Shaft) configuration. This configuration requires a keyboard shaft. To make it easy for everyone to modify the keys, we have added wiring holes on the pumpkin. You can modify the pumpkin cat into any electronic key you want (such as modifying it into a computer power button). We have reserved magnet holes at the bottom (magnet size Φ7*T1.5 /Φ6*T2), and you can install magnets and stick them to the computer host. The file includes six different sizes of pumpkins.

Version 1: Pure 3D Printed Version

This cat has a built-in spring mechanism that can be printed. You can have a cute decompression pumpkin cat with only a 3D printer without purchasing additional accessories.

It is recommended to use PETG or PLA material for printing (the spring needs to be printed with PETG material, the elasticity of PLA printing is not so good). The cat's two paws and pumpkin hat are fixed with glue, and the split design,requires no multicolor printing

Installation diagram is as follows:

• When installing, note that the pumpkin hat has a direction, and the two positions with notches are stuck on the cat's ears.

• When installing the cat's paws, install the flat side facing the cat's head.

Version 2: Keyboard Shaft Version

Of course, we also provide a version that can be installed with keyboard shafts. Installing mechanical keyboard shafts can bring satisfactory feel and clicking sound.

1. Mechanical keyboard shafts need to be purchased separately. Both audible and silent shafts have been tested and sound great (tactile or linear shafts are also fine). I personally like them both. Please use them according to your personal preferences. If you like a crisp and bright sound, choose tactile audible shafts like blue shafts. If you like a more stable sound, choose black and red shafts. Just find cheap ones on Taobao or Pinduoduo.

2. Ordinary cross-shaped shafts and shafts with dust covers can be installed and used smoothly.

(If the keyboard shaft is too tight or loose during installation, you can set XY hole compensation in the slicing software to adapt to your keyboard shaft).

We also designed three different expressions for the cute cat

If you do not have AMS multicolor printing, or want to print the pumpkin cat as quickly as possible, you can remove the color and use monochrome printing. Paint the printed cat's eyes and mouth with black acrylic paint (acrylic markers are also fine).

If you have AMS, it is recommended to directly print the multicolor version (printing several at once can reduce waste).

Printing Precautions:

1. If the top of the printed cat's head has a circle of layers, you can appropriately reduce the layer height for printing.

2. If the assembly is too tight or loose, you can adjust the XY hole compensation and outer contour compensation in the settings to achieve the best effect (material type and material flow settings will affect the final print size, and it is impossible for one graphic to adapt to all materials and printing parameters, you need to adjust the compensation parameters yourself).

3. When printing the pumpkin, the mouth position needs a small amount of support, other items do not need support.

4. When printing the cat's paws and pumpkin seedlings, it is recommended to add a skirt to print, or apply glue to the printing plate before printing. Too small a contact area may cause printing failure.

5. Regarding multicolor printing color change purge amount:

When printing pumpkins, you can set the purge multiplier back to 1.0, the wiper tower width to 35, and the purge amount to 45 to reduce material waste.

But when printing multicolor cat heads, it is recommended that you use the settings in the following figure (purge multiplier 2.0, wiper tower width set to 50, purge amount set to 100). Black and white are easy to mix colors when changing materials, this setting can effectively avoid color mixing.

The effect of color mixing is shown in the following figure. There will be a gray area around the eyes and mouth. It is not recommended to affect the printing quality in order to save materials:

It's not easy to make. If there is a problem with printing, please point it out so we can solve it together. Please do not give a bad review maliciously, thank you.

We have also designed another decompression cat cup, which can be downloaded here https://makerworld.com.cn/zh/models/505310

(The two cat heads can be used interchangeably; the difference is that one has a pumpkin hat and the other does not.)
