Articulated (rotary) cat with a thin profile that can be used as decoration, bookmark or otherwise. The clearance is 0.2mm, and 0.4mm for bridging areas of the mechanism, so may need "breaking in" carefully. The cat has holes in the paws specifically for hanging/attaching to things, but the model is a little large to be used in a keychain. Updated: I've added some extra meshes with varying clearance, along with the body and tail sections individually in case you'd like to try out which one is best for you. The original “0204” works for me, but could be a little tight. The numbers roughly correspond to planar and then vertical clearances (i.e. 0.2 mm XY, 0.4 mm bridging), greater is looser.Long cat is long.
