I was inspired by this: https://www.printables.com/model/86396-self-defense-cat but wanted to make it more robust, so I traced the shape and made my own model in pirated Solidworks. One side looks better than the other but came out well overall I think. It’s thicker and at 100% infill. Also much sharper. Would certainly hurt to get punched in the face with this… “keychain”.

EDIT: I’d be happy to share the file too if anyone wants it. I’m not sure where I could upload it but I’d be willing to try.

    That’s cool but if you really want to carry something for less-lethal self defense, please just carry pepper spray. You’re just gonna hurt your hand and piss off an attacker if you use this.

      It does feel pretty comfy in my hand and I don’t think this would cause life-threatening injuries. It would definitely inflict a great deal of pain and maybe take an eye or two out. I agree that pepper spray is ideal though for stopping an attacker, though.

      Honestly though this is really just me being a mall ninja and making something fun and slightly dangerous.
