Insert slow-feeder cho máy cho ăn mèo PETKIT Fresh Element Solo

Description

This is a 3D-printed insert that sits inside the metal bowl of the Fresh Element Solo feeder. The vertical obstacles block direct mouth access to the kibble, so cats need to fish the food out with their paws.

The prototype in the photos is fixed in place with hot glue, but the model can be installed more neatly depending on your setup. You may want to use removable adhesive, silicone dots, or adjust the model for a friction fit.

The insert is especially useful if:

• you have multiple cats using one feeder;

• one cat eats too fast;

• your cats fight over fresh portions;

• you want to turn the feeder into a slow feeder without replacing the whole device.

Print Settings

Material: PETG recommended
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Infill: 15–25%
Supports: probably not needed, depending on the model

Food contact note: use common sense with food-related prints. PETG is preferable to PLA, and the print should be cleaned regularly.

Installation

1. Remove the metal bowl from the feeder.

2. Place the insert inside the bowl.

3. Check that it does not interfere with food falling from the dispenser.

4. Fix it in place if needed.

5. Watch your cats during the first few feeding cycles to make sure they understand how to use it.

Notes

This was made for the Fresh Element Solo feeder. It may fit similar bowls, but I have only tested it with this model.

The prototype shown in the photos is attached with hot glue. It works, but a cleaner mounting method is recommended for a final installation.
