Title: 50mm Water Bottle Stand for Pet Hamsters and Rodents
Introduction: This document provides detailed instructions for 3D printing a 50mm water bottle stand designed specifically for pet hamsters and other similar sized rodents. The stand ensures that the water bottle is securely held in place, making it easy for your pets to access water in tanks or other habitats that don’t have a cage for mounting.
Materials Needed:
• 3D printer
• PLA filament (or Petg)
• 50mm Pet water bottle (https://www.chewy.com/lixit-best-buy-hamster-water-bottle-8/dp/264604)
• Measuring tape or ruler
Printing Instructions:
1. No supports needed
2. Printed at .24 layer height
3. If you have a different size water bottle this model should be scalable to work
Post-Printing Instructions:
• Sanding: Sand any rough edges to ensure a smooth finish.
• Cleaning: Clean the stand to remove any residual filament.
• Testing: Test the stand with the 50mm water bottle to ensure a secure fit.
Conclusion: By following these instructions, you can create a functional and stable water bottle stand for your pet hamsters and other similar sized rodents. This stand will help keep the water bottle in place, making it easy for your pets to stay hydrated.
(Note: in the photo there are holes in the base of the stand but they were removed as unnecessary and to prevent supports being required.)
