Print-in-place cat toy balls

A set of four openwork balls, each with its own bell ball rolling inside: a cat toy that rattles, rolls and needs no assembly.

A cat staring at you with a “entertain me” look is a familiar sight. These balls will do the entertaining: an openwork ball rolls across the floor, can be caught with paws and batted around, and inside it a separate bell ball rolls about, adding sound and excitement. All of it is printed in one go, whole, with no assembly, no glue and no tiny parts to lose.

The set has four different balls: with a square grid, with irregular honeycomb-like holes, with spiral stripes, and with vertical ribs. Each is roughly 35–37 mm across. Note that we advise against scaling these toys down: they are sized for a cat's mouth, and smaller ones could become a choking hazard. That is why we print them at the original size.

This is the second version of the model, and it improves on the first: the balls stay put on the bed during printing (we print them with an outer brim), the model is cleaner and more detailed, and the weak spots that used to snap are reinforced. It is not indestructible: deliberately smashing it will break it, but ordinary play with a cat will not.

We print only in basic materials, PLA, PETG or TPU, the safest choice for cat toys. Printed without supports, with 0.2 mm layers and three walls; a one-color set takes about 22 g of plastic and roughly 1 h 53 min of print time. A two-color version is also possible (ball and bell in different colors), at about 42 g and just under 4 hours.

The toys have been approved not only by cats but also by birds, ferrets and baby chicks. You choose the color separately for the balls and for the bell inside, for example white balls with a grey bell, as in the photos. Add the set to your cart or write to us in the request and we will entertain your pet.
