cAT-hAT

Description

I made this because my husband thought that the AT-AT model I made should have cat ears and a hat. I thought it would be a fun joke that would take a few hours but I ended up taking over a month. It has been a good project to learn about articulating joints and 3d printing in general.

It is not a perfect model and I may work on it in the future. The sockets are prone to breakage. If you make this, please let me know any suggestions you have for improvement!
