Toe grips for dogs which have trouble on slippery floors/surfaces
As our Sheepdog aged he had increasingly more troubles on our hardwood floors. Each time he slipped or fell it made him less confident and us feel more helpless.
I ordered a commercial set of these at $60USD to me here in Canada and knew I could do better. Here is the commercial ones in case you want to buy them https://shop.toegrips.com/products/toegrips
I designed these in Freecad and you can customize them to fit your dog and print them out yourself!
Here is a detailed video on how they work : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYg6hkmdTeE&ab_channel=ToeGrips

Size in FreeCad as you need by changing the diameter of the 2 radius values here:

Print in TPU filament

You can even use my tuned TPU settings in my Github Repo here:https://github.com/MKme/I3-Mega-3D-Printer-Settings-Resources

and for the CR10 here: https://github.com/MKme/CR10-3D-Printer-Settings-and-Reference

- Made them to thin first versions to test fit then tweaked diameter larger after
- 10 mm seems like a perfect height
- 4.7 inner too big
- 3.7 too small
- 4.2 near perfect but slid up too high during a walk
- From here moved from 1 to 2mm thick
- 4.1x6.1
Final- 8X13.2X9 is the final size/revision done. Works perfectly
- Chamfer top edge in case they ride up
- Leave bottom edge square for max grips
- Grip pattern like a tire?
- More infill needed or fine as they are?
