Cat Drink Sink

thingiverse

This was a delightful little project I created, apart from the faucet (item 2343198) and knobs (item 2456068), for a cat who enjoys drinking from the kitchen sink and bathroom tub faucets. It's quite straightforward in design. All of the components included can be printed on an Ender 3 Pro. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my cat does! He walked right up to it and started drinking happily. The idea behind this entire project was to craft a drinking fountain that could be easily disassembled for cleaning, had easy access to the water source (bowl) if needed, and most importantly functioned perfectly. The whole sink is hollow underneath the sink basin, so you can simply place it over the top of the water bowl. The pump sits in the bowl with a fish tank tube that winds up through the base and then through the faucet, ending at the opening at the end of the faucet. What's beautiful about it is that you don't even need to secure the tubing to the hole. The angle of the faucet versus the hole opening keeps it in place unless you have very rough cats. I also added a little sink faucet attachment to the end of the faucet to give it a more authentic feel for him. One thing to note is that you'll need to seal anything that will come into contact with the water or the cat's mouth with a food-safe sealer. Let's keep our animals safe! Other than that. You'll need to scale all of the files I made down to 10%, sorry I wasn't modeling to scale. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! And I'd rather not say it, but please don't print these to sell.
