Automated Pet Feeder - Hopper and Auger

Hey team,

I was asked by a friend to help out designing an automated animal feeder for his chickens.

His idea was to screw the hopper, auger and motor to the underside of a table and allow feed to drain through a hole from a larger storage container above the table.

The motor used in this design is model number JGY-370 and I managed to find a schematic of the motor which was very useful laying out the holes.

For this project I printed in black PETG and used cylinder modifiers to enforce greater infill around where the bolts and screws attach the motor and to the table above.

I'll attach the Prusa slicer and .STEP files for reference.

Hope this might be useful for somebody out there :-)

Cheers
