Easy Remove Pet Cage Bowl(small animal)

thingiverse

My Daughter-in-law wanted a set of food/water bowls for her sugar glider(Jinx) that were easy to remove from the cage but secured to the wire grid of the cage. The clips on the rear of the holder are spaced and sized to fit her existing cage(i.e. the separation fits the vertical spacing of the bars and the grippers are sized to fit the wire gauge). You can also try to resize it to fit individual needs. I have also included a design without the grippers for different cages. Simply use craft wire or twist-ties to attach it to the grid. You could also attach it with screws to a wooden cage. My first design was the square one. I designed the polygonal one purely for aesthetics. The square one holds a greater volume but may be harder to clean. The tab/slot make it secure(so it doesn't end up spilled all over the cage). The small nub on the end of the holder arm doesn't seem to want to print properly on my printer, but it isn't necessary. The bowls don't require any support. the holders are oriented to make it easier to remove support(but with a minor amount of waste). I suggest printing the water dish in solid mode since I have experienced leakage due to porosity of the structure on some items I've printed in the past(i.e. planter pots). I hope these are useful for those of us that love and enjoy our furry family members. Please let me know what you think. Enjoy, and remember, keep creating!
