My automatic dog feeders work great but only hold enough food for a few days so I designed and printed a funneling system and a resovoir to hold the entire bag so all I have to do is fill the resovoir when I get a new bag. Works great.

Edit: don't know why the photo uploaded sideways. Sorry about that.

I've got a wopet feeder for my cat and would kill for the STLs for the legs and chute lol (but please ofc don't feel obligated to share them free or otherwise). Same reason as you, so I can have it dump into a puzzle feeder.

Anyway, amazing work, any chance a guy can obtain some of your STL files?

The chute I modified from something I found so it fit my feeder better. You may be able to find one for the WoPet on Printables. I think I remember seeing some that were made specifically for that.
