About this model

This is a prototype Cat prosthetic limb that I developed with the Palau 3D print club while teaching 3D printing and CAD. The inspiration came from another design I found online. The Alibre Design files are parametric so the size of the support cup can be modified easily if you have Alibre. Also included is the STP version for other CAD packages however this will not be parametric. It should be noted I'm uploading this as have been requested for some time, I'm not a prosthetics expert, I'm not a doctor, and this has never been used on a cat! The cat it was designed for was quite happy on three legs :) This was the original inspiration:
