Cute Cat Planter

My previous cat planter is kinda creepy by comparison! 

This cutie comes in either 3 or 4 inches, with 8mm drainage holes, and a custom drip tray. I've been experimenting with solutions to reduce or eliminate supports so I included two options for anyone who is interested.

1. Cat Planter - Complete : a traditional model which includes all parts. Requires supports for the floor and post-processing to remove the supports and the thin layer beneath the drainage holes.
2. Cat Planter - Floor & Cat Planter - Body: an experimental model to insert the floor into the body and thereby eliminating the need for supports. It's the same process as embedding nuts in printed parts.

For more information on inserting a pause, see PrusaSlicer's documentation – help.prusa3d.com/article/insert-pause-or-custom-g-code-at-layer_120490

Tips:

1. I highly recommend painting a seam on the body. Otherwise the slicer will likely add seams to the cat's face

If you opt to insert the floor to eliminate the need for supports, I included some additional instructions + tips:

1. Print the floor part first. I like to print the floor upside down so that the interior floor is as clean as possible (otherwise you'll see some gaps where the perimeter and infill paths meet).
   1. Keep this part flat as it cools. A bent or bowed part will cause issues later.
2. Ensure the body part includes the pause command. When your printer pauses, simply drop in the floor! There should be adequate tolerance between the parts so that the floor easily falls into place. 
3. You're all set after resuming the printer!

Happy printing!
