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

• Measure : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRrzz1uOwbI&feature=emb_title&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

• Apply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYf_AoBE18Y&t=5&ab_channel=ToeGrips

Buy them premade from my store here if you like : TBD

• 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?
