This Catsberry Minigun was designed for a medium-size dog 15-45lbs. Scaling of the minigun will depend on the size of plastic straws used for the barrel. Assembly is pretty self-explanatory. A Total of 7 straws of the same diameter will be needed for this project. I recommend dark silver or black staws for proper aesthetics. Glue and some small hammering will be needed to attach the optional crank mechanism to the back of the barrel.
I recommend printing the barrel guides in sillk silver, barrel in silver metallic and the main body in either galaxy black (sparkly black), silk black or gunmetal dark silver.
Print the Straw Guide first to gauge the size of the hole needed to fit your straws. Once proper size hole is determined, use a calculator to determine scaling needed to print the the barrel guides and reowrk diameter for insert in the barrel. Current print setup is made for 6.8mm diameter straws.
Print the main body, two versions are included, right-hand version and left-hand version.
Print Barrel guide and ammo separately on a different color (silk preferred)
Assemble everything together. You can use glue if needed and the crank is optional.
An electric motor can be used to rotate the gun barrel but honestly, I would not recommend it as it might frighten your dog.
Attach the minigun to a dog harness by whatever means necessary, I would recommend CAD a quick-release mechanism or Velcro. The attachment needs to fairly tout so the gun does not sag.
