Product Description

The Alt Shield was originally developed to work with the Half Guard to provide full coverage for the really talented kitty, and is called The Protector. The Alt Shield is one solid piece that has a lip on the back that snaps onto the rim of the LR3 so when the globe turns upside down during the cleaning cycle the Shield helps prevent your little rascal(s) from jumping in and having a party. The Alt Shield is a happy medium between the Full Shield and Half Shield.

    We have a < 1 year old cat that loves to try to catch her falling clumps when the LR cycles itself, leaving her clumps outside of her litter box. Now that we bought this alt shield, all of her clumps stay inside the litter robot where they belong. She still tries to climb in there, and she’ll hang onto the shield itself in attempt to catch her clumps, but she’s been unsuccessful every time. The shield is sturdy, has not fallen off, and matches perfectly with the litter robot. Orders are custom made so they take a little while to get here once you purchased it, but I’d say it’s well worth the wait and the money.

    We ordered the alt shield to stop our kittens from reaching into the litter robot while it's cycling. They would slap their turds around, not letting all the waste get sifted. This deters weird kitten behavior while still allowing our senior cat to use the bathroom. (A determined cat who jumps inside the robot while it's cycling can still get in there.) It's easy to install--I didn't have to watch the video. It just pops right on and stays on.

    As for aesthetics (this might be more of a me problem than a product problem), I never ordered a 3D printed item before. I didn't know the shield surface would be both shiny and scratchy? The litter dust clings to the surface so it doesn't look as nice after a day of cycling. I think a grey or silver might be better than the black but I got it to match the LR fence.

    I'm only taking one star off because the bottom edge is kind of thin and abrupt. The corners that look pointy are pointy. It isn't exactly sharp but I would have preferred smooth, rounded edges since my cats tend to torpedo out of the litter box. No problems so far so we'll keep using it.

    Perfect fit
    I was worried that they, my tabby siblings, would knock it off. It fits so well it doesn't come off. Even when the orange boy rides it like a cowboy.

    Exactly what we needed!
    Exactly as advertised. Install was a snap and the poop bandits have been thwarted. Great product.

    Charlie feels like he must rescue his poops from an eternity of darkness that is the hole of the LR, by running back into the room when the LR begins to cycle and stealing the poops out of it while it's cycling. Since putting the Alt Shield on, his poops are now resting eternally in the LR drawer, and I no longer have to go on turd hunts around the house.
    Also was super easy to switch up this order when I accidentally ordered the wrong thing... this maker is top-notch A+!

    The cats fling litter out of the opening, even the higher part. I already have a LR3 fence so just ordered the alt shield and it fits perfect and is doing a great job.

    The shield arrived today and it is perfect. Ninja Kitty was able to watch everything while it cycled but he didn’t jump in to ride it like he was at the carnival. 🎡 Highly recommend.

How does 3D printing work?

Every 3D printer builds parts based on the same main principle: a digital model is turned into a physical three-dimensional object by adding material a layer at a time. This where the alternative term Additive Manufacturing comes from.

3D printing is a fundamentally different way of producing parts compared to traditional subtractive (CNC machining) or formative (Injection molding) manufacturing technologies.

In 3D printing, no special tools are required (for example, a cutting tool with certain geometry or a mold). Instead the part is manufactured directly onto the built platform layer-by-layer, which leads to a unique set of benefits and limitations

From here, the way a 3D printer works varies by process. For example, desktop FDM printers melt plastic filaments and lay it down onto the print platform through a nozzle (like a high-precision, computer-controlled glue gun). Large industrial SLS machines use a laser to melt (or sinter) thin layers of metal or plastic powders.

The available materials also vary by process. Plastics are by far the most common, but metals can also be 3D printed. The produced parts can also have a wide range of specific physical properties, ranging from optically clear to rubber-like objects.

Depending on the size of the part and the type of printer, a print usually takes about 4 to 18 hours to complete. 3D printed parts are rarely ready-to-use out of the machine though. They often require some post-processing to achieve the desired level of surface finish. These steps take additional time and (usually manual) effort.
