This is still a work in progress but I have printed and assembled. I created a automatic fish feeder that will use a arduino board that will rotate the auger every 12 hours to feed my fish. I will also have a manual override switch to feed the fish at any time. My old fish feeder was made out of cardboard so I thought it was time to 3D print one.

Add Arduino Nano board case to fit the board, transistor, wires and button to look cleaner than having all the wires and board exposed. Added file and picture to project. I just hot glued the board to the hopper case. Working on a way to fasten without hot glue for next update.
