Dog Bowl Arm and Back-Plate

thingiverse

Here is a replacement arm and back-plate for the You&Me Yappy Meals dog bowl, available at Petco (https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/you-and-me-yappy-meals-gray-attachable-dog-bowl#). The constant breaking of the back-plate became a major issue, caused by over-tightening or accidental bumps from sliding crates. I suspected that the material used for the back-plate was prone to fractures and thought it could be improved upon with 3D printing in PLA. My assumption proved correct, and I decided to take my design further by integrating one half of the plate directly into the arm.
