2 days, was all it took to design and print it, followed by getting it to work. :slight_smile:

Now I am designing new better looking parts for it. :slight_smile: This will later be controlled by an arduino so it is possible to give my cat some food from my website. :slight_smile:

Did you use your own 3D printer?

I like it. It also can be used for aquarium fish feeding.

I'm guessing you wouldn't serve that much food in one hit
you know cats
if it's there they'll eat it
so is the plan
a) one pellet every 10 minutes?
or
b) 3 square meals a day?

I guess the plastic bag is only for testing, too

Yes, I know my cat, and she can control how much she eats. :slight_smile:

The plan is none of the above, I am going to put a button on my website, so people can give my cat food, it won't give her much for each click, but that is not the intention either because I will continue to feed her as normal too. This is just for some extra fun.

And the plastic bag was only for testing, I made a stand for it, so it can stand next to her bowl and put the food directly into it.

Very cool! I'd like to know more about your printer too!
