WHAT IS IT?

This is a dog tag that attaches to the side of your dog's collar, like a belt accessory. This is different from a traditional dog's name tag, as this tag is much more difficult for your dog to remove. If your dog is like mine, this will save you many expensive trips to the pet store to get new tags. 

YOU WILL HAVE TO MODIFY THIS DESIGN TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS. SEE INSTRUCTIONS.

THIS TAG IS DESIGNED TO FIT ON COLLARS FOR LARGER DOGS. IT IS DESIGNED TO FIT ON A COLLAR THAT IS A MAX OF APPROXIMATELY 6mm THICK AND 25mm WIDE. YOU COULD ALSO SCALE THE MODEL TO FIT YOUR DOG'S COLLAR.

Uses only approximately 3 grams of filament and prints in only around 30 minutes or less depending on your printer!

NO ADDITIONAL HARDWARE NEEDED

MY PRINT SETTINGS

If your dog is energetic, you might consider printing this in PETG rather than PLA. Either way, print it strong with multiple walls and relatively high infill.
