Introduction
This is a design to be used by larger dog owners with pets who have trouble getting up higher places. The steps are extremely flexible, and the usage of 3D printed clamps allows it to be cheap in cost and labor and adaptable to any size.
Tools
-
-
Print out the braces, small and large supports, screws, and mircow screws using the thingiverse link below
-
-
For our design, 4 small supports, 8 large supports, 12 braces, 36 mircow screws, and 32 screws.
-
Feel free to adjust the scaling or amount of steps, the recommended thickness of the wood is 1/2" to 1 1/2".
-
-
-
Gather your wood planks, and for each one attach a brace on one side, with 3 mircon screws for each brace to clamp them firmly onto the wood.
-
Starting from the bottom step, screw a small support starting from the middle hole of the brace to the rightmost hole in the step above it.
-
Directly parallel from this support, screw a large support from the leftmost hole of the bottom step through the middle of the second to the right of the third.
-
Repeat until all the steps have been properly screwed in.
-
Do the same for the opposite side.
-
-
-
Use your completed steps!
-
Once done, you can either fold the steps in on itself or unclamp each of the braces for separate storage.
