Description

I designed this model to fit our BiOrb 8 gallon round fish tank to support an automatic feeder. All of the feeders I could find online rested on the top of a tank, or on the size of a square shaped tank.

 

After multiple iterations, I found that we had to have the print set inside the tank lid to prevent dripping. The inner cone also helps ensure accumulated moisture will drip into the tank and not down the sides. The design is tall with a ramp to help prevent moisture from the bubbler building up on the feeder as I use flakes and not pellets.  Finally, the support for the ramp was important to build in as some printer wobble was causing the ramp to fail sometimes when printing.

 

This is for the BiOrb 8 gallon round tank here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0846BPYG2

 

I purchased this automatic feeder and it's been working well but the suction cups do not stick to the print, it just rests on there - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRCWP16K

 

Print notes - should fit on any Bambu at 171x171x150, no support needed. I printed in Bambu Bright Green PLA.
