Please, post your makes! I'd love to see your pets using the platform!

I made this as the original platforms I purchased were wooden. Too hard to remove, and food like berries stained them permanently. 

Installation:

Place the “hook” end through the cage, and lightly push down so that the hook and cage seat together. Removal is easy, as its the same process, reversed.


Took inspiration from:

Please, support them and their design as well! (All CAD for this platform is original and designed by myself.)

Recommended Print Settings:

ABSOLUTELY NO ADDITIVES. 

COLORS, WOOD, CARBON FIBER, GLASS FIBER, ETC ARE UNSAFE.

  • Material: Plain, Transparent, PETG. the fewer additives the better (Colors, Tough, Plus, Pro, High speed, etc. are considered additives and unknown if toxic.)
  • Shells/Walls: 3-4
  • Infill: MINIMUM 18-25%. Lean on the higher side for heavier rodents.
  • Infill Pattern: Any 3D Pattern. I like Cross Hatch.
  • Bottom Shells/Layers: 4-5
  • Top Shells/Layers: 4-5
  • For better appearance (IMO), check “Only one wall on bottom surface" 
  • Supports: Not required. Place the flat side down to the plate.

Please monitor your pet and make sure they do not consume pieces of the platform! 

My rodent has had a PETG platform for a solid two months with zero chewing. Only then would I feel OK with changing the color, and only the color. Just because they aren't eating your super cool carbon fiber platform, doesn't mean it's not leaving splinters in their paws! Please research your filament before use. Additives differ from brand to brand, even batch to batch from the same company. Avoid PLA as, while it is more rigid, it's also more brittle, turning into sharp shards when broken.


Let me know how to improve this design!
