Give your furry friend the ultimate, comfortable dining experience with this fully customizable and expandable dog feeding station. Designed to elevate food to a healthier height, this stand improves eating posture and digestion—making it especially ideal for medium-to-large breeds like Akita Inus.

🧩 The Ultimate Modular Ecosystem

This system is designed to grow and adapt to your pet's needs. Instead of a static stand, you can build a complete, multi-bowl station!

• Expandable Base Units: Print exactly what you need—whether it's a single water station or a triple-stand setup. The bases lock seamlessly together side-by-side using the included printable connector pegs.
• 2 Updated Interchangeable Top Modules:
  • Standard Angled Ring: An ergonomic, tilted holder designed for standard drop-in stainless steel bowls.
  • Integrated Slow Feeder: A custom 3D-printed maze top designed to pace enthusiastic eaters, preventing bloating and improving digestion.
• Secure Locking Clips: Upgraded from the original screw design, these easy-to-print rectangular connector clips slide into the top and bottom slots
• Customizable Nameplate: The system includes a blank front badge attachment. Add your dog's name in your slicer (using the text tool) for a fully personalized touch!

🌟 Key Features

• No AMS Required: You don't need a multi-material printer to achieve a beautiful, color-blocked aesthetic. Simply print the bases, tops, and connectors in your preferred filament colors and assemble.
• PLA Pure: Optimized and tested for PLA Pure. It prints beautifully and provides plenty of structural integrity without needing advanced engineering materials.

• Easy Print & Assembly: Thoughtfully designed for a hassle-free printing experience with optimal orientation.

🛠️ Hardware & Assembly

For the open rings, this stand acts as a docking station for standard stainless steel pet bowls (Max 17cm diameter). Using a drop-in metal bowl ensures maximum hygiene and makes daily washing a breeze.

To assemble:

1. Snap your customizable nameplate to the front.
2. Rest your chosen printed top modules onto the structural bases.
3. Drop in your stainless steel bowls, and it’s ready for mealtime!

🖨️ Recommended Print Settings

• Material: PLA Pure
• Wall Loops: 2
• Infill: 10-15% Gyroid (provides a solid, sturdy foundation)
• Supports: Designed with bridging in mind, requiring minimal (only for slot of nameplate and nameplate) to no supports.

🛠️ Create Your Own Modules (STEP/STL Included!)

I am sharing the raw STEP and STL files alongside the ready-to-print 3MF profiles so you can easily design and create your own custom top modules.

Feel free to download, remix, and modify the components to fit your specific stainless steel bowls, design entirely new top features, or adapt the dimensions to your needs. If you create a cool new module or adapter, be sure to share it as a remix. I can't wait to see how you expand on this system!
