Cat Toy Ball-in-Cage for Indoor Play

Design preview. Rendered from the file, not a photo.
This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Open ball cage with a smaller ball inside that rolls
- Keeps cats entertained for hours of indoor play
- Print in place, ready off the bed
- Saves your real toys from getting lost under the couch
- A simple gift for any cat owner in your life
You drop the toy on the floor and your cat bats it across the room. This 80 mm diameter ball cage holds a smaller 30 mm ball inside, so cats can swat, bat, and chase without ever quite catching the inner ball.
The print-in-place design means no glue and no fiddling. The vertical-only struts make printing easier without overhang issues, and the ball moves freely from the moment you pull the toy off the bed.
Use it as a daily cat toy, a gift for a new kitten, or a small market piece for pet shops.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
