Description
This is a print-in-place dispenser for lickable treats for cats. It reduces the messiness of using such treats and allows to retrieve every last drop from the tube.
There are two different length options available, choose based on the size of the treat tubes to be used. Tubes with the hollow part of 14 cm long or more work well with the long version, the more compact short version accomodates the tubes of 11-13 cm perfectly.
The model was tested by printing in PETG using 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.2 mm layer height. For a 256x256 mm bed, the model needs to be rotated by 45°. No supports are needed.
Make sure there are no seams adjacent to the sliding part. To enable movement of the sliding part, twist is with a reasonable amount of force applied.
Make sure the chosen filament is food safe. Food safe PETG is a good choice that allows cleaning the dispenser with hot water. Make sure to clean the dispenser thoroughly and replace as needed.
