Modular Classical Kitty Bowl

thingiverse

This is the modular version of my kitty bowl. The original is one solid piece, but the curves required a LOT of supports. With this version, you can print the bowl and the base parts separately, requiring NO supports. Will save a lot of time and filament! If you want the solid version, you can go here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4772547 I designed a twist-slide-attachment mechanism to connect the two pieces (KittyBowlModularP1 and KittyBowlModularP2). However, depending on what kind of filament you use and how quickly you print, the nobs on the base may print warped. THIS IS OK-- see pictures of how warped mine came out. If yours prints out a little warped, the first few attempts at sliding the pieces in place will take a bit of force. It might even feel like you're breaking it, but you won't (as long as you print with a decent infill). I also uploaded a two-piece version without the attachment mechanism if you just want to glue it together (KittyBowlSplitP1 and KittyBowlSplitP2). If you're actually planning on using this to feed your pet on a regular basis, I recommend finishing it with epoxy to seal it. You could also use it as a decorative bowl to hold jewelry, candies, or whatever else. Filament: PLA Infill: 40%+ (recommend 80-100% for weight, if you plan on using this for your cat) Supports: No
