Slow Eating Food Bowl

thingiverse

I designed a custom dog food bowl to control my pet's eating speed. I introduced an upgraded version that prints faster, but it may be slightly less sturdy. After producing the initial version, I found the pillars too large for one of my dogs' muzzles to fit between them comfortably. So, I created version 3, which includes additional side wall support, allowing my dog's face to clear with ease while eating. On my printer setup, this new version prints in nearly the same time as version 2. This compromise of print speed and strength appears to be the best solution. The dimensions for V1, V2, V3 are identical at 135mm diameter. V4, designed for larger breeds, measures 180mm across and stands taller to hold more food. When selecting a model in my viewer, they are ordered from smallest to largest: V1, V2, V3, V4.
