Nice clamp!  Love the addition of holes for needles!

A model for the pads of a foxes hind paws:

Should be printed in a flexible rubber-like material.

Wow, really great details! I wouldn't even think about adding a separate shoe for a horse, I just wouldn't be bothered. It's cool that you can add those things though. Time-wise, does 3D printing save you anything? I mean, one assumes whatever you'd spend designing the pattern for printing, you'd end up spending anyway doing 'old school' building for puppets...?

The beauty of 3d printing though is that once designed you can print multiple copies that are the same.  So for something like a horses hoof and shoe I would think it would really save time since you need to make 4.  Not to mention if you are making multiples of a puppet.

Once you know the tools making a 3d-object is easy and does not take a lot of time. The hoof took about 30 minutes to design (that includes searching for reference pictures), the horseshoe 5 minutes. I could have made one by hand faster, but if I need two or more 3d-printing saves me time (I can do something else while the 3d-printer does the work). If I have a base-model I can change it in minutes.

It seems to me that the other advantage of-3d printing is the consistency that it brings. How many Miss Piggys have been used over the decades of the Muppets? With 3d-printing, if a replacement puppet needs to be made, at least portions of that puppet (often the most detailed portions) will be guaranteed to look just like the original. Not only will they look the same, but those replacement parts won't require any time in crafting, the machine will be doing the work.

Thanks. I suspected that it would save time in the long run because you can re-print stuff, just like making a mold for casting, but wasn't sure if it would even out in terms of designing the object in the first place. Sounds like it's a time saver in both areas.

This might have been asked before Tioh, but what Cad modelling package do you use?
