Fish Food Funnel

thingiverse

Our automated fish food feeder tended to spill the food outside the tank because it's a cheap 10 gallon tank and the feeding hole in the lid is relatively small and/or not designed for the feeder we're using. For a while we had a piece of plastic in there, but my wife had the idea to 3D print a funnel! After a couple of iterations, we arrived on this design. I printed the main part of the funnel at 100% infill, and the block that attaches to it at 10% infill to save on material. I sliced the model in half in netfabb free to permit easier completion of the above two-part print. Designed to fit the feeding hole of the below aquarium hood:http://www.petsmart.com/fish/lighting-hoods/all-glass-aquarium-incandescent-hood-zid36-5063883/cat-36-catid-300015 The feeder we have is this one:http://www.petsmart.com/food-care/automatic-feeders/national-geographic-trade-aqua-auto-fish-feeder-zid36-5230306/cat-36-catid-300037 Print Settings Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer: R1 ABS + PLA Model Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 100%/10% Post-Printing Glued together with superglue, also looking at coating with resin to prevent buildup of the food over time.
