Belly Rub Kitty

Belly Rub Kitty! This is a gear-driven interactive toy designed to mimic a pet’s reaction to belly rubs. When you rub its belly, the internal mechanism moves the paws (or feet) up and down, simulating a playful response. The design is entirely mechanical, requiring no electronics, making it a fun and engaging print for makers of all skill levels. It can double up as a fidget toy as well!How It WorksThe toy operates using a simple gear-driven mechanism. As pressure is applied to the belly area, the movement is transferred to the limbs through a series of interconnected gears, creating a smooth, responsive motion. The design is optimized for printing without any supports and easy assembly. A gif clip is included to show the assembly process.Print DetailsRecommended Material: PLALayer Height: 0.16 or 0.20Supports: NoPrint Time: Estimated 4 to 5 hours as the parts are split into 3 plates in the Bambu studio project fileThe model might be scaled up or down depending on printer capabilities
