Product Description
DENT & DINGED: THESE PRODUCTS ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL BUT HAVE NOTICEABLE FINISH DEFECTS.
UPDATE! We’ve changed how our clips are made to make them stronger and more durable!
Clips for any Guard will only come in BLACK (regardless of what is pictured).
This is a new laser cut Acrylic version of the Full Guard. It comes in Crystal Clear or Smoke colors and includes one set of 3D printed clips in Black. The benefit of getting Acrylic over a 3D printed one is Acrylic is non-porous so it can be sanitized. Otherwise it is exactly the same as our 3D Printed version!
The Half Guard securely attaches to the bottom of the entrance of the Litter-Robot 3 with the provided clips so that even with vigorous pawing it stays in place. The Half Guard is 3.5″ as measured in the middle of the Guard. The sides are taller. FYI the Litter-Robot fence is about 2.5″ tall.
INSTALLATION NOTE: The two bottom clips use screws and nuts, which are included, to attach small stabilizer tabs on the inside of the LR. Just don’t completely tighten those until after they are in place on the LR. Watch the installation video here: https://lrt.pet/installguard
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.
