Description

I've been using mirks Cat Food Ball, but my cat always left it where I would step on it, so I needed something sturdier.
I decided to make it one piece and add a supporting pole in the middle.
My sister said it would be the cat food ball for the next nuclear war, therefor the name "Atomic Cat Food Ball".

Instructions

- Should be printed with external support (no internal support!), although it looked like it might work even without.
- You might try using Jitter, because otherwise internal threads might block on side where you cannot remove them easily from the outside.
- After printig, fill it with cat food (the dry sort, doh)
- Have fun the next few weeks teaching your cat how to get the food out!

I switched to Slic3r, which doesn't support exterior-only support, so I'm testing it with "Enforce support for the first: 20 layers" set. This should have the same effect.

Great Thing! And good quality print too! How thick are the walls?

To be honest, I don't remember if it was 3 or 5mm. I made this with Autocad 123D, which I don't use anymore.
I might upgrade this to an openscad version, since my first print finaly broke. The second one ist better quality an should hold another eternety ;)
