Automatic pet feeder powered by an ESP8266 and a servo

prusaprinters

<p>This is an automatic pet feeder that is powered by a D1 mini chip (ESP8266) and a cheap servo motor (mg996r).</p> <p>The device connects to my WiFi and it can be controlled using the Blynk app and servers from everywhere in the world.</p> <p>My cat is an outside cat, so i needed something that will be durable and tamper proof.</p> <p>There is a "pedal" sort of button for dispensing food. the goal was for the cat to learn how to use it on her own (it didnt happen).</p> <p>This also doubles as a small weather station, i hooked up a DHT22 to it and it graphs the temps in the Blynk app.</p> <p>The electronics are still laying behind the device but i will print an enclosure for them soon.</p> <p>I have not printed the base since i wanted to use my own bowl, but you can try to print it as well.</p> <p>IMGUR album: <a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/ASHQb1a">https://imgur.com/gallery/ASHQb1a</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.28</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Generic PETG Black &amp; cyan</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Add supports for the Axle, it wont print without it.</p></div> Post-Printing ============= <p><strong>Add bolts to attach the servo motor to the body and the axle</strong></p> </p></p></p> Category: Pets
