water pet bowl for automatic refil

thingiverse

It's a specialized bowl designed specifically for dog breeds with long beards that struggle to drink water without flooding the entire house. This bowl was created based on a curved design that limits contact between the beard and water, preventing unwanted messes. It also comes equipped with a built-in container to hold water, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the water sensor. I've personally used non-contact water level sensors like this one (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1493.html) in various projects, and they work exceptionally well. If you're interested in purchasing one, you can find it on Aliexpress at a lower price than the listed retailer. The water input hole is designed to accommodate a 6mm hose and may require some silicone or glue to prevent leaks. Similarly, the water container will need an acrylic cover, which might also benefit from some additional sealing with silicone or glue. Please note that I haven't personally tested this bowl yet, so use it at your own risk.
