Small Fish Feeder

prusaprinters

<p>I couldn't find a fish feeder small enough or precise enough with the food portions. I built one that I can set according to my needs. It's very small and light. It can be attached to a portable battery to ensure the fishes have their food pellets even in case of black-out.</p> <p>I have just some Ember Tetra, small orange fishes just 2 cm long; and they eat a tiny amout of food. This feeder may also be suitable for the aquariums with just one Betta.</p> <p>You are free to modfy this design to fit your aquarium.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>TEVO</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Tornado</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.4</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Filoprint PLA <p>Black Glitter</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>You need to add some support for the Base.stl piece</p></div> Post-Printing ============= <p><strong>Programming the Arduino Board</strong></p> <div><p>The Arduino Program is available in the Thing Files section. Notice that you will probably have to change the values in the list according to your servo horn alignment. The fish feeder is programmed to feed the fishes twice a day. If you wish to test the whole system, just write MINUTE/2 instead of DAY/2 so that the motor will move every 30 seconds (just like I made in the video to test the feeder).</p></div> <p class="detail-video"> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/miqzZOzbOX0"></oembed> </figure> </p> </p></p> Category: Electronics
