My automatic dog feeders work great but only hold enough food for a few days so I designed and printed a funneling system and a resovoir to hold the entire bag so all I have to do is fill the resovoir when I get a new bag. Works great.

Edit: don't know why the photo uploaded sideways. Sorry about that.

Great as long as they don't figure out how to knock the bowl over and eat off of the floor. Went from about 5-10 seconds to around 30-45.

You can't see it in the picture, but I have these braces I printed that holds the bowls in place. They can spin but they don't come out.
