Water Dispenser Drinking Bowl for Dogs and Cats

Ensure your pet never faces an empty bowl again! 💧

This 3D model is a smart, self-filling water dispenser that uses a standard PET bottle as a reservoir. As your pet drinks, the bowl automatically refills, ensuring a constant supply of fresh water, even when you're away.

The best part? The bowl is fully customizable, allowing you to perfectly tailor it to your pet's size and your available space.

How it works:

1. Print the water dispenser in your configured size.
2. Take a standard PET bottle (e.g., 0.5 L or a sturdy 1.5 L), and fill it with water.
3. Quickly turn the bottle upside down and insert/screw it into the designated opening.
4. The bowl will fill to an optimal level and stop. As your pet drinks, water will automatically flow to refill it.

Customize the Perfect Size ⚙️

In the customizer menu, you can adjust two simple parameters:

• Becken grösse (Bowl Size): This determines the diameter of the drinking bowl.
  • Small value = A compact bowl, ideal for cats, puppies, or balconies.
  • Large value = A wide drinking area for thirsty dogs or multiple pets.
• Becken rand Grösse (Bowl Rim Size): This sets the height or depth of the bowl.
  • Small value = A shallow rim, comfortable for kittens and small animals.
  • Large value = A deeper bowl that minimizes splashing and holds more water.
