Three leg options are available for use, including 3/8 inch tubing or dowel cut to 125 mm length for shoe application. Leg Shoe: This option is completed in approximately 30% of the time required, taking about 0 hours and 19 minutes to finish. The process involves working on this part three times. Leg Hollow: In contrast, leg hollow requires around 10% of the total time needed, taking approximately 0 hours and 43 minutes per iteration. This option is also completed in three separate steps. Leg Full: For those who prefer a more substantial leg design, leg full takes up about 10% of the total workload, requiring roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete each step. Again, this part is worked on three times. Silo Bottom: Moving on to other parts of the silo, silo bottom requires about 10% of the time needed for completion, taking approximately 3 hours and 52 minutes per iteration. This single-step process finishes one unit. Bowl: The bowl option takes up around 10% of the total workload, requiring roughly 2 hours and 48 minutes to complete a single unit. Hinge: For those looking for an efficient hinge design, it's completed in about 30% of the time needed, taking approximately 0 hours and 46 minutes per iteration. This part is worked on once. Cover: A cover option is also available, which takes up around 30% of the total workload, requiring roughly 1 hour and 35 minutes to complete a single unit. Spacer: The spacer option takes up about 30% of the total time needed for completion, taking approximately 0 hours and 14 minutes per iteration. This part is worked on once. Silo Top Cover & Feed Level Indicator: When it comes to securing parts, using a 1/2 inch dowel can make the unit more stable. Additionally, attaching a string to the cover makes manual opening easier. To strengthen high-use areas, applying polyurethane or similar products is recommended. Cover Optional: A cover option is available, but it's not essential for the design. There are ongoing efforts to develop a method that controls the opening and closing of the cover, allowing users to regulate food availability. 3D Community Involvement: The 3D community is invited to contribute methods for controlling the cover's movement, providing further customization options. Hinge Remix: For those interested in modifying their hinge design, a remix option is available on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1083876).
