Description

Rotary Cup Kibble Dispenser

A modular kibble dispenser that works similarly to a candy dispenser. Designed to screw directly onto a compatible glass jar or container, it allows you to portion out kibble or treats easily using a rotary cup mechanism.

 

Features

  • Glass Jar Compatibility: Fits jars/containers with an 11.5 cm outer diameter top.  
     👉 Important: Print the included Fit Tester Ring first to ensure it matches your jar before printing the full model. This saves both time and filament.
  • Two Portion Options: Includes two dispensing cups (small and large) so you can select the portion size best suited for your pet.
  • Optional Drip Tray: Comes with an optional TPU drip tray to catch spilled kibble and fine kibble dust, helping keep the feeding area clean.  
  • Food-Safe Printing: Should only be printed with food-safe filaments such as PETG. Ensure your printer is well calibrated to achieve smooth surfaces and minimize kibble dust buildup.  
  • Surface Finish: The model uses Fuzzy Skin on the exterior for a better visual appearance.  
    • You can turn it off in slicer settings, but it’s highly recommended to keep it enabled, as it helps hide common surface defects (especially in large prints).  
    • Stick to the included print settings/profile for best results, since they’re tuned specifically for this design.  
  • Interchangeable Design: Modular parts allow easy swapping of cups and straightforward cleaning.

The dispensing mechanism is based on the excellent Cat Treat Dispenser with Interactive Lever (https://makerworld.com/en/models/634652-cat-treat-dispenser-with-interactive-lever#profileId-559904) by BlainLeVilain (https://makerworld.com/en/@BlainLeVilain).
 

Assembly Guide

Step 1: Insert Hopper

Insert the hopper into the base.  

  • The hopper has two types of legs: flat legs and curved legs with an extra edge.  
  • Align the flat legs with the side of the base that has the round opening.  
  • Push the hopper down until it sits flush inside the base.  

Step 2: Assemble the Handle and Cup

Assemble the handle, spring, and dispensing cup.

  • Place the spring onto the handle shaft.  
  • Ensure the spring orientation matches the illustration: one end should catch against the base later.  
  • Attach the dispensing cup to the shaft, making sure it locks in place.  

Step 3: Insert the Handle Assembly

Insert the entire handle assembly into the main body.  

  • Insert it at the angled position shown in the illustration.  
  • Gently push until it seats into the hopper and base slots.  

Step 4: Lock the Spring

Rotate the handle to the left until it reaches the illustrated position.  

  • You may need to turn the handle back and forth a few times to help the spring click into its proper slot.  

Step 5: Insert Stop Block

Insert the stop block into its slot on the base.
