Description

V2 design: -Changed the lid design to add it some weight. -The base design MUST NOW BE INSERTED FROM THE TOP OF THE BOX. -The wall mounter has built-in supports that prevent it from falling off mid-print. theese 0.4 thick walls must be snipped off While a great design, i found it to be fragile, prone to print failure and the mechanism prone to getting stuck. My version is designed to guarantee a sucessful print wile also making it sturdier and eliminating friction points that make the original get stuck while open. The back also has a mounting slot. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Assemble the swivel and use the short peg to lock the wheel into place: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Use the long peg to lock the swivel into place: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Place the tail in place, and use about 2 inches of filament to lock the tail to the swivel. Dont cut the filament too short to ensure the tail remains in place: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Lock the box push the box into the base. The two parts should snap together, but there are also two holes in the back that can be used for 2.5 screws. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Place the lid and the face. Mount WallMounter on a wall and slide the cat box into it. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media TIPS: Make sure the swivel wheel can rotate freely. if needed, make it roll for a few minutes until it spins wwithout effort. Same thing with the tail and the box lid. move them back and forth for a while, until the lid loosens up. Slotting the base and box can be a bit tricky. i found that the easiest way is to push the box onto the base on the edge of a table. The wall mounting mechanism is meant to give some resistance when slotting it in and out. please keep this in mind.
