Auto-Fill Dog Bowl Large Heavy Duty (over 1 Lb)

🐶 Large Heavy Duty Auto-Fill Dog Bowl (P1S Optimized)

Designed for durability, stability, and everyday use, this large auto-filling dog bowl is perfect for keeping your pet hydrated without constant refilling. Built to be heavy-duty (over 1 lb of material), it stays put—even with bigger, more energetic dogs.

🔹 Key Features:

✔ Large Capacity Design – 9" wide provides plenty of drinking area
✔ Auto-Fill Design – Designed to hold a standard water bottle opening (like a typical disposable water bottle)
✔ Non-Threaded Adapter – Accepts multiple types of refill containers without needing specific threads
✔ Versatile Use – Works with various bottle styles for easy refilling
✔ Heavy Duty Build – Uses over 1 lb of filament for added weight & stability
✔ Tip-Resistant – Wide base helps prevent sliding and spills
✔ Clean, Simple Design – Easy to print and easy to use

📏 Dimensions:

• Diameter: 9 inches
• Height: 3.5 inches

🧵 Print Information:

• Printer: Optimized for Bambu Lab P1S
• File has been tuned to print slightly slower for better layer adhesion
• Adjusted settings help improve water resistance / reduced porosity

🔧 Recommended Settings:

• Material: PETG (recommended for water resistance & durability)
• Infill: 10–15% (Gyroid or Grid)
• Walls: 4+ perimeters
• Top/Bottom: 5–7 layers

⚠️ Important Notes:

• PETG is strongly recommended over PLA for long-term water use
• While the file is optimized for better sealing, 3D prints are not 100% waterproof by default
• For best results, consider:
  • Increasing wall count
  • Using higher flow/top layers
  • Or applying a food-safe sealant if needed

💡 Why This Design?

Most bowls fail because they’re too light or require specific bottle types. This design focuses on:

• Weight for stability
• Print tuning for leak reduction
• Flexible compatibility with multiple refill containers (no threading required)
