Description

Steve Soloman (reddadsteve) has dozens of wonderful models of popular characters from the comics and cartoons. Snoopy, a recent addition to his Peanuts family, is a perfect example: dead-on accurate and easy to print. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2792617
[update: at Steve's request, I've made this a remix of his Snoopy model. Please note that I have not changed his excellent model in any way - this is just an accessory.]

Snoopy, catching sack time in his usual spot, is just waiting for Charlie Brown and Suppertime! So I modeled an empty dog dish. If you're feeling a little "Charlie Brown"-ish, you can add some kibble to make Suppertime complete.

Trying to choose a size and shape for the bowl was a challenge. Online images show sizes that vary to match the situation. Sometimes it's large enough for Snoopy's entire head to fit inside; sometimes it's only big enough for his muzzle. I made an educated guess. The shape is often drawn as a simple rectangle or trapezoid - only enough to suggest a dog dish. I made it as dog-dish like as I could manage. And I don't think the public ever saw what food was actually put into Snoopy's dish, so I guessed at some type of kibble.

I modeled both the bowl and the kibble insert in OpenSCAD. The kibble was fun. There are actually several hundred randomly-sized pieces of kibble randomly placed in the bowl. My struggle was to keep it from looking like a bowl of chili. I'm not sure I succeeded, but it tends to looks more kibble-ish from a distance.

The kibble insert fits into the bowl with friction holding it in place -- or you could glue it in if you wish.

In Steve's model, the top and bottom of the dog house are printed separately, to be glued together. I am simply terrible at getting things aligned properly when gluing, so I printed out some 10x10x15 blocks to glue in the corners to help with the alignment. Turns out, the blocks hold the pieces together well enough that I didn't have to glue the top on at all. It feels a little silly to be posting a model of 10x10x15 cube, bit if it saves you some time...
