Decorated Water Bowls

thingiverse

Four cat-sized water bowls, scalable for various animals, are presented with a parametric openSCAD code. The parameters include the bowl diameter in millimeters, bottom thickness, rim height, and rim thickness. Four decoration options exist for the bottom that adjust to fit the bowl size. These designs come from MaakMijnldee's cookie cutter collection (thing:35495), with dxf_files.zip containing the images needed for the code. Images of the decorations are displayed at the upper left corner. The bowls have a diameter of 100mm, a 25mm rim, a 3mm thick bottom, and a 2.5mm thick rim, with 1mm deep indentations as decorations. Available bowls include bowl_cat_p4.stl, bowl_cat_pmm.stl, bowl_fish_px.stl, and bowl_shark_p6m.stl. To minimize warping, the bowls were printed directly onto the build surface. On a Replicator, these prints take approximately 3 hours using 10% infill and 2 shells.
