<p>This was my first prototype, there are always rooms for improvements….</p><p>I am afraid this cannot be print on a Mini+:(<br>The biggest model is 188.90 (X) by 202.60 (Y)</p><p>I have been looking for raised pet bowls that looked nice and highly customized without looking cheap. It should:</p><ul><li>look nice :)</li><li>be customized without having the need to reprint&nbsp;</li><li>fit small and medium pets</li><li>avoid using glue, screw</li><li>no less important, easy for anybody to assemble it</li></ul><p>The raised pet bowl has 4 heights and 6 positions:</p><ol><li>5cm / 2inch</li><li>9cm / 3.5inch</li><li>12cm / 5inch</li><li>15cm / 6inch</li></ol><p>The bowl support has 13.1cm in diameter. TinkerCAD should help you to make it bigger a bit or smaller.</p><p>The princesses :)</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/f0e01040-87f2-4676-a1ad-14729c2de720/20220805_231531.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2224f42550-d6b4-4760-b305-15cbebc5a801%22%2C%22w%22%3A3457%2C%22h%22%3A1908%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>position1: <img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/0ffb6a38-e54a-4ead-b5bc-7545338b9f19/20220807_000316.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2278730b3f-189e-4ccf-9afd-fcf5f943504d%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A1908%7D"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>position2:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/1d0fd213-ad4a-401f-890d-2059eaa716bc/20220807_000350.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22b85ac0b0-9a38-4c69-8f89-76851be111a5%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A1908%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>position3:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/77299159-5db4-4695-8f1f-9c00a61fc744/20220807_000414.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%224378847c-b28a-4e2c-b38d-1f171cfb2c6e%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A1908%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>position 4: Turn the sideways support 180 degree</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/05147405-9528-4b6d-9e5d-a592514c4ab8/20220807_000440.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22db5e029f-2092-4c55-ae3b-984e238a9589%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A1908%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>position5:&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/ccf9b889-f08f-44bb-8586-f59182dbaa99/20220807_000511.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22491c490b-ece2-41c4-9b48-7fb92348c75c%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A1908%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>position6:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/df7b9b64-342d-4010-9cc9-83444a200b01/20220807_000539.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22db0197f4-1c9d-4d6d-a270-cb570e530d52%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A1908%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To remove the locker: Hold it and a little pressure from under it will release the locker.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/254286/rich_content/60999bb6-c98b-4281-a449-1e9e9e8d4a26/20220806_124433.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%228064caee-6ef2-4300-8f75-e54ad89f01b3%22%2C%22w%22%3A1908%2C%22h%22%3A2930%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Joiner: No glue is needed.
