Ant proof dog bowl holder

thingiverse

Looking for a better platform to hold dog food to keep it away from the ants. The design is parametric, so if the ants are bigger where you are, make the gap bigger. This was inspired by another ant-proof bowl that I printed (sorry, lost the link) but my wife insisted it needed some upgrading. This is my second version. I designed it so that: 1. Ant proof. 2. Easy to print with minimal support. 3. Holds plenty of water so doesn't need to be refilled often. 4. Food won't fall into the water. 5. The Bowl won't slide off. 6. The top won't tip over. 7. 15cm in diameter. I printed it at 0.2 with 10% infill with supports - although almost any print settings should work.
