Dog water dispenser

thingiverse

The water bowl is 100mm diameter. Use PLA so it is food safe. Fits my dog's china made 3 foot dog cage perfectly. The distance between the vertical wires is 34mm and my guess is that's a standard spacing for most of the cages. Use bridging support and print at a moderate speed so it doesn't leak from the result of poor printing. The bottle is a standard 600ml spring water. I run a file around the bottle cap to remove the tiny finger grip lines. Drill a hole around 12mm in the top of the cap. To do this, screw the cap onto the bottle so you've got something to hold, then drill 3mm, 4mm 5mm 6mm etc in 1mm steps til you get to the desired size that will allow air to bubble into the bottle which will then allow the water to flow into the bowl. To use it, Go around your cage to find a pair of wires with the best fit because the spacing does vary. Clip the bowl between the wires from inside the cage, fill the bottle, hold your finger over the hole in the cap while inverting and quickly insert the bottle into the bowl with a clockwise twist. Some water may spill. Thanks for making sure your pet has water to drink.
