Dog Feeding Reminder Morning Evening

thingiverse

This is a task reminder I created to determine when the dog was last fed. This design will work for anyone that feeds their pets twice a day, in the morning, and in the evening. I left the top part of the outer shell blank in the file so you can customize your own pets name in a program like Tinker CAD. This is a simple design I created on Tinker CAD after seeing similar things online, but no designs on Thingiverse. This print will require a little bit of work after it comes off the print bed!! POST PRINT I had to print with supports but I offset the supports in cura by 4mm and used a support infill of 5% to make them easier to remove. I drilled a small hole in the center from the back and stuck part of a small nail in the center to create a center point for the print to pivot around so it isn't just loose and sitting inside the pocket of the shell. I super glued the nail from the back side so it would not come out and still be able to spin freely. I had to sand the edges of the piece that sits in the middle to round it out more and create a smoother, more rounded edge for it to spin around smoothly. I used TinkerCAD, and unfortunately, it doesn't create perfectly round circles. I had to position the center piece a little high up from the middle to get it to spin freely too. After all was cleaned up and able to function properly I painted the top sides of all the lettering with cheap acrylic paint to make it stand out better and be more legible. I also super glued a magnet to the back side to be able to stick to my fridge. Hopefully this print will help someone!
