Description

This is an improved version of the print-in-place dispenser for lickable treats for cats. It reduces the messines of using such treats and allows to retrieve every last drop from the tube.

 

Improvements over the original model:

  • relaxed tolerances for easier movement of parts;
  • latching mechanism to close the dispenser;
  • guiderails for the sliding part for slicker movement;
  • sturdier build with increased wall thickness.

The model was tested by printing in PETG using 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.2 mm layer height.  For a 256x256 mm bed, the model needs to be rotated by 45°. No supports are needed.

 

Make sure there are no seams adjacent to the sliding part. To enable movement of the sliding part, twist is with a reasonable amount of force applied.

 

Make sure the chosen filament is food safe. Food safe PETG is a good choice that allows cleaning the dispenser with hot water. Make sure to clean the dispenser thoroughly and replace as needed.

 

UPDATE: The interface between the shells was adjusted to make sure the device remains closed.

It works, I just wish that the clips at the beginning could hold it close, but it works.

Worked well till about half way up then it was unable to resist the pressure in the treat and the whole treat moved in the dispenser. the silder has no issue moving all the way up and down so not sure why it struggled even with the treat end fully open.

Happened to me when using it couple of times, usually pulling the tube back through the slit slightly would let be continue with no issues. Perhaps you have thicker treats?
