Pet Feeder (Auger based)

myminifactory

I'm kicking off an automatic pet feeder project that's really taking shape. The motor mount in this design is tailored for a NEMA17 stepper, but it should be a breeze to swap out if needed. The exit elbow still needs some fine-tuning - a bit more work will get it just right. Once complete, the project will be powered by a Raspberry Pi and equipped with a camera to keep an eye on whether our feline friends are getting their meals. Update: 2016-01-13 - New exit elbow is now in place. All parts have been printed and assembled, so now it's time to tackle the electronics and stepper driver.
