Automatic Rabbit & Small Animal Feeder

thingiverse

This is a multi-section, 3D printed feeder designed specifically for rabbits and other small animals. The feeder features a lower bowl section and upper hopper sections, offering versatility with an optional lid to maximize storage space. Users can opt for a single hopper or stack multiple hoppers - two or three, depending on the available space and desired capacity. A clear PET filament was chosen due to its transparency, allowing users to easily monitor feed levels in the hopper sections while ensuring food safety. Although rabbits primarily consume hay, this feeder is ideal for emergency situations when an animal must be left unattended for 2-3 days. Print Settings: Printer Brand: RepRap Printer Model: Prusa i3 Rafts: Not Required Supports: No Supports Necessary Resolution: 0.2mm Layer Height Infill: 22% Honeycomb Pattern Notes: The feeder prints well without supports, but the internal slope section may exhibit slight sagging with certain plastics. However, it will still function as intended. An optional bevelled lip has been added to the bowl section to minimize feed spillage during consumption. The optional lid has not yet been printed, but it should fit seamlessly when completed.
