Guinea Pig Hay Feeder

thingiverse

UPDATE: March26, 2021 I have upgraded the Hay Feeder to include a removable lid, this help stops your guinea pig from flipping the feeder over and losing most of the hay. You can use either one of the HayFeeder_Base files but will need to print out all the other V2 files in order to use the upgraded version. The following files are needed for the upgraded version V2 (Removable Lid) HayFeeder_Base OR HayFeeder_BaseV2 (Wider Base Feet) 20-30% Infill HayFeeder_MagBaseV2 100% Infill HayFeeder_MagButtonsV2 100% Infill HayFeeder_RetainerRingV2 (Old name: HayFeederTop) 35% Infill HayFeeder_TopV2 20-30% Infill 4 small magnets are needed for this version; magnets should be the following dimensions 4mm Dia 1.75mm gauge. For Assembly details, see photos Update Jan03, 2021- I added longer stabilizer legs(V2 Hay Feeder only, you still will need to print the top out as well) for the Hay Feeder, as the my daughter's Pig kept pushing it over, hopefully this will keep it vertical now. If anyone else prints, please leave a comment whether this works or not. ****************************************************************************************************** I created this Hay Feeder for my daughter's Guinea Pig as the feeder that came with the cage was pretty useless with hay falling out all over the floor. No supports are needed to print this feeder, but you will have to print two separate pieces and then assemble it using CA glue to secure the pieces in place. Be gentle when install the top onto the base pillars as it is meant to be somewhat of a tight fit. I also placed the CA glue in each notch located on the top so that no CA would be assessable by her Guinea Pig if she decided to chew on the feeder.
