Fish Feeder 3 RPM Motorized/Auto Farmpod

thingiverse

This is easy to print, you just need the pictured 12 volt 3rpm motor and cereal dispenser. The body took 10hrs to print in PETG on a cr10s with a .8mm nozzle. The lid is another 1-2 hours. The Motor goes on the shaft, through the dispenser hopper, and into the flapper wheel that comes with the dispenser, this can then all just be pushed down into the Fish feeder, no fasteners required! I soldered the wires onto the 12-volt plug then to the motor before inserting it into the fish feeder. i also used a small diode between + and - on the motor to prevent power spikes. Then hook it all up to a relay controlled by an Arduino or pi etc to control feed times etc or just a switch.
