The file 'Inclinable Doggy Food And Water Bowl Stand 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 71.8KB.

Summary

I designed this stand for my older dog, who is 14 years old and cannot bend down comfortably to eat food or drink water. So I can put it flat for the most part for her water and put it inclined for her food so the food slides to one side. She is a medium-sized dog (45lb), so obviously, this won't work if you are printing it for your chihuahua, lol.

I printed all the parts using my Ender 3 Neo V2. Here are the infill percentages used for each part:

  • elevator_arms.stl - 30+% (Since this will bear the weight of the bowl + food + base of the bowl when in inclined mode)
  • left_tower.stl - 10%
  • right_tower.stl - 10%
  • support_rod_back_bottom.stl - 30%
  • support_rod_back_top.stl - 30%
  • support_rod_front.stl - 30%

Assembly is quite intuitive. The support rods all have the same dimensions. I don't remember why I generated different stl files for all of them instead of creating just one file and printing 3 pieces in Cura instead.

P.S.: I use the pet food bowls that we get at the dollar store in the USA.
