Hey guys! I was looking for a bowl holder for my dog , but didn't found any so I made one , (Its still not finished , I want to make 2 hueforge photos of my dog and put it on the sides, will update after I finish it :).
The model require no glue as I made a connector between the parts and it holds pretty good. (You can add glue but I haven't and it holds very good!)
I did solder to try and hide the break lines , not so succsesful, do it as you wish , you don't need to do it :)
I uploaded 2 print profiles , 1 without support(What I used) , second is with supports.
For the no support profile you need to print 17 connectors(Lock.stl)
For the with support profile you need to print only 3 connectors(Lock.stl).
Assembly:
If you print the profile with support its pretty straight forward , just insert the connectors to 1 side , and connect the other side.
For the profile without support , you need to connect in this order:
1.Left Top + Left Base
2. Right Top + Right Base
3. Connect between them with the 3 connectors.
Use PETG for the connectors(Lock.STL) as its more flexible.
Don't be afraid to use force on the connectors! They won't break , you need to use force!
