Food Splitter for PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Pet Feeder

thingiverse

This is a 2-way splitter designed specifically for the PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Feeder. It enables users to employ two separate bowls with the feeder, fostering a sense of sharing among pets. To facilitate this design, I created a printable part that can be purchased on Amazon; however, I wanted to craft my own and share it with fellow enthusiasts. Although I haven't thoroughly tested this splitter with large quantities of food, it should accommodate dog kibble without any issues. The inner width of the chute measures 26mm, providing ample clearance from the feeder. Consequently, any food item of that size or smaller shouldn't become wedged in the chute before reaching the nozzle. If you encounter any problems with this design, please leave feedback, and I'll consider revising it to accommodate larger food items by incorporating a wider opening and a longer body. For those who'd like to remix this design using Fusion 360's parametric model, it can be accessed here: https://a360.co/2FSvTat ## Assembly After printing both pieces, simply push the base onto the chute with moderate force. Next, fit the rear lip of the base underneath the feeder, where the originally supplied bowl holder was positioned. ## Fitment Notes When printing on a Prusa i3 MK3, I recommend printing both parts at 100% resolution. If you encounter issues with the base being too tight due to tolerance, try increasing its size by 1-2%. However, be cautious not to exceed this range, as it may compromise the fit within the feeder's bottom slot. Keep in mind that this part isn't perfect in terms of fitment within the PetSafe Feeder. I've made every effort to match the feeder's angles, spacing, and curves; nonetheless, feel free to leave comments suggesting improvements. Based on your feedback, I'll modify the model and update it accordingly.
