Description

I loved the cat door frame found here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/172868-cat-door

But I had a non-traditional door (an opening cut in a large trunk for a litter box) for which I only needed a front piece of trim, and I wanted to just glue it in place. The size also didn't match my needs, and I didn't want a curved bottom.

So, I took the original and cut it into pieces. There is a top piece where the ears are. Print that first at the size you need - remembering how much you increased or decreased it (by %).

Then, change the size of the side pieces by the same percent, and then lengthen or shorten them in the x-axis to be the length you need.

Glue the 3 pieces in place, and you've got a fancy pants entrance to your cat's doorway.

You might find yourself having to weld the pieces together with a 3D pen, soldering iron, or some glue. Personal choice there.

Printed in PLA (though “PET-G” would have been more appropriate :-)

15% lightning infill, 2 walls, no supports needed. Add mouse ears if you're concerned about the pieces lifting off the plate, or if you enjoy irony.
