Congratulations. I have reviewed many cat feeders. I have never seen such a beautiful project before. Especially making the physical parts or finding the parts was a big problem. Here, this problem is solved with 3d printing. Thanks.

They generally won't eat anything they don't already absolutely love and even then sometimes they just change their mind and won't even eat the same food you've bought them for years. Hiiiiiiiighly doubt they'll touch the silica gel. Still not worth the risk but it's definitely very low risk

Genius 🌻 What a clever engineering. On my system I chose a other type of feeding system: one main container, a secondary container which is connected to a weight sensor. That uses much more space! I didn't have it on battery power, and I add to your statement: "Cables are never a good idea, when cats are around" 😅 Not sure yet, if the cable is the problem or the cat ❤😺😂 Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I've just found your channel! This is real advanced engineering! I can learn a lot from your videos! Brilliant work! 🍀

I was thinking about making a cat candy dispenser to give my tomcat his reward every time he sprays in the tiled bathroom. He loves to go spraying together with me in the bathroom, but when I'm not at home he does his biological duties in a less rewarding way on places where it is more difficult to clean. I already bought an amonia detector module. I think I can modify your design for this special use. Thanks!

Another cool use: A group of those to prepare dosage for hydroponics nutrient slur. They are dosed and fall into a pre-mixing container. Mixed for X seconds to guarantee total dilution and then this pre-mixer just open to the min mixer where all parts will be combined. The big conainer should also have a mixer for extra dilution. Then after X seconds, it is sent to the plants. A task that will take a farmer a couple hours, done automatically.

I’m building a similar project with some 3d printed parts but i have hygiene concerns about it. Some filaments like PLA themselves are organic but the small crevices on the part might cause bacteria buildup in time, so you have to apply coating for it to be foodsafe. You might want to consider applying coating for your kitties’ health!

Very cool project! I've thought about getting myself some feeders as well, but never got to do so because I can't control the portions each cat gets to eat, even more so with only one bowl. Do your cats share the food evenly? How would you control this? I've seen feeders that only dispense food / open if they read a certain tag from the cat, that way the same cat could not trigger it multiple times in a row, it's not 100% fail proof, but it would be a nice and challenging adition to this project.

Hello, first you should avoid using delay, use millis for delays etc. Second delay is inaccurate on such ling periods of time, so rather not use it.
@desmond856
9 ай бұрын
It is not recommended to use delay ms to keep track of the feeding time. It's not accurate and not precise to count time specifically for hour units , it would get bugged by time. 2nd is because if we use delay function, it wouldn't save the time if there's an electricity shut down. once electricity came back, your cat feeder wouldn't continue to run the schedule.

There will need to be servos and food dividers in each short tube.
