Automatic Rabbit & Small Animal Feeder

cults3d

This is a multi-section, 3D printed feeder designed specifically for rabbits and other small animals. The feeder consists of a lower bowl section and upper hopper sections, with an option to include a lid. Users can choose to utilize one or multiple hoppers, depending on available space and desired storage capacity. To maximize visibility and ensure food safety, the feeder is crafted from clear PET filament, which allows for easy monitoring of feed levels within the hopper sections. Although rabbits primarily thrive on hay, this feeder provides an essential resource during extended absences, such as when an animal must be left alone for two to three days. The feeder's design prints relatively well without supports; however, some users may notice a slight bowing in the internal slope section with certain plastics. Nevertheless, the feeder remains fully functional despite this minor imperfection. To further enhance functionality and reduce spillage, I've incorporated an optional beveled lip on the bowl section.
