Cat food pouch dispenser

📝 Project Overview

I couldn't find a ready-made dispenser that met my aesthetic requirements, so I designed this clean, modern, gravity-feed container myself! This is my first published 3D modeling and printing project, so please don't be too harsh! I hope you find it as useful as I do.

✨ Key Features and Fit

• Pouch Compatibility: Designed specifically for standard 85g cat food pouches.
• Tested Dimensions: My specific pouches measure 92 x 137 mm.
• External Dimensions  150 х 106 х 250 
• Internal Dimensions: 102 х 146.
• Important Fit Note: The container features rounded interior corners. While the internal dimensions are 102 х 146, any pouch that exactly matches those measurements may not fit due to the corner radii. It works best with pouches slightly smaller than the internal space (like the 92x137mm pouches I used).

⚙️ Printing Recommendations

⚠️ Filament Usage Warning:

This model is quite large and uses a significant amount of filament (at least for me). I highly recommend printing a small section first to test the fit with your specific brand of pouches before committing to the full print.

Filament Saving Option:

I originally printed this with a light setting, but I published the sturdier version. To save filament and time, you can drastically reduce consumption by setting your Wall/Perimeter Count to 1. But it'll a bit hard to remove supports, my print isn't ideal but still quite nice and I'm happy how it turned out.

Supports: Required for the upper rounded sections (the viewing window cutout) to prevent sagging.
