Parametric Dog Bowl Stand

🐶 Parametric Dog Bowl Stand 🦴

A fully parametric and 3D printable dog bowl stand, created for maximum personalization and ease of customization

The project was inspired by a physical model found online, but it was completely remodeled and optimized for 3D printing, with more precise and firm fittings to prevent the parts from coming apart with the dog's movement during use Therapy Shop created a tutorial teaching how to create a model like this from scratch in Fusion, I highly recommend it and thank you for your great videos teaching about Fusion

The model has adjustable top diameter parametrization, allowing use with different bowl sizes directly on MakerWorld Simply change the value in the customizer, generate a new .3mf, split to objects and place each part on a separate plate to print

⚠️ Important about custom names

I tried to make the name editable directly through MakerWorld parameters, but currently MakerWorld does not correctly accept text parameters for this model in the customizer

Therefore, if you want to add your pet's name, you will need to add the text manually directly in the slicer

🖨️ How to slice correctly - Multiple plates

The model parts are large and should be distributed on separate plates for optimized printing

When importing the file into your slicer:

1. Right-click on the model
2. Select "Split to Objects"
3. Distribute each part on a separate plate manually

This ensures the best use of the print bed and avoids fitting problems

The fittings are perfect so the bowl does not come loose on its own

✨ Optional Tip: Fuzzy Skin

If you want to add a more distinctive and pleasant texture to the touch, you can use the Fuzzy Skin feature in your slicer

To apply correctly, click the “Fuzzy Skin Painting (H)” button, select the paint bucket to paint the face and select only the outer part of the model

⚠️ Be careful not to apply Fuzzy Skin to the fitting areas, as the texture may alter tolerances and cause the parts not to fit correctly
