My automatic dog feeders work great but only hold enough food for a few days so I designed and printed a funneling system and a resovoir to hold the entire bag so all I have to do is fill the resovoir when I get a new bag. Works great.

Edit: don't know why the photo uploaded sideways. Sorry about that.

Now you need a bigger feeder to keep your automatic feeder feeder topped up.

LMAO, i seriously thought about doing some kind of crazy rube goldberg setup for it. I'm still contemplating running a water line to the water dispenser so it's always topped off too.

You should. My best friend hates adding water to his keurig machine. So he designed a float and such, mailed me the tank lid and components with a diagram of how they should fit. I designed and built the rack that fits on the lid and mailed it all back to him. Works like a charm.

Nice. I just might give it a go. The fridge is just on the other side of that wall so it would be easy to tap into the water line and run it through the wall. Thanks!
