Murder Cats

Murder Cat

Saw a post online about 3D printing some above the door murder cats. I decided to do a remix so you can laser cut them. Also adding my own upgrade. :grin:

The original 3D printing files are here,

I converted the stl files to svg and made them a slot and tab base. Making these from 1/8" plywood I spray painted black. (The following are .svg files you can download)

(All the svg files can also be found here as well as the LightBurn file)

Murder Cat Reaper

Murder Cat Chainsaw

Murder Cat Cleaver

Murder Cat Knife

Cat Base

I made a little test cut so you can adjust the fit of the slots. Just update the dimensions of the slots in the base relative to your test cuts.

Tab and Slot Fit Test

Optional Upgrade
I wanted glow in the dark eyes, so I cut a eye backer from some thin acrylic sheet.

Cat Eye Backer

Glued it on the back side with some E6000 glue.

I’m using some glow in the dark paint I had on hand. It takes a lot of coats to build up a decent glow layer, so I’m using a syringe to pipe in a thick layer into the eye well. The paint takes a long time to dry so overnight is best for a thick layer. Some glow in the dark pigment mixed in some epoxy would probably work better.

Awesome looking project.

I made the mistake of showing it to my wife. She has requested 6 of them.

Off to the design desk to design some murder cats.lol
