Drinking fountain for cats

thingiverse

Does your cat like to drink from the tap? This automatic drinking fountain simulates a tap avoiding the waste of water. I have designed a bowl and a pipe to connect it to a water pump. The pump is connected to a PIR sensor that activates the pump the the cat is close. Parts: - Bowl: Desgined to place the water pump and a support for bottles. Feel free to redisign it and improve it. - Pipe: is a pipe of 1.5mm of thickness. - Support for bottles: Based on the thing #38224. It includes a female helix to connect it to the bowl in order to use different pieces depending on the bottle used. UPDATED!! V2: I kept the original height to ensure the water level on the entry of the pump. - Support for 9 volts battery: I used the thing #2672627. - Switch: Small switch to power on/off the system.

See the electric diagram on pictures. This is my firt desing. I hope you enjoy it.
