Pet water dish stand

thingiverse

I designed this thing to elevate the pets' water dish, so I got started by creating it.\r\n\r\nThe size of the top plate turned out to be a bit too ambitious for me, requiring two separate pieces that needed to be printed individually. To connect these pieces, I customized the supports for the top plate, making sure the tabs between them had some support, but leaving the holes where the legs connect entirely unsupported.\r\n\r\nWhen printing the legs, I placed the flat side of each leg on the bed and added support for the pegs that protrude from the tops. Additionally, I printed a thin support structure inside the slot where the brace goes for legs A & C.\r\n\r\nWith proper calibration, this whole thing should come together without much post-processing or glue holding it in place. Unfortunately, my bed was not leveled before I started printing, and an elephant foot problem arose, causing some parts to fit together less smoothly than I had hoped. Luckily, a bit of trimming and sanding fixed the issue. One small leg got a bit too much attention from me during sanding, so it ended up glued in place to keep it secure.
