In this fifth installment I print the turntable and walk through my back-panel options, sensor slots, and recommended print settings. I share filament tips, Fusion360 and STL choices, and simple assembly notes. If you're following the series, read on for files, settings, and practical guidance.

I built a 3D-printed cat/pet feeder and documented every step across seven posts: printing the gearbox, assembling parts, crafting the enclosure, and adding electronics and a sensor board. If you want to follow the process or reproduce the device, read the full build series for parts, tips, and notes.

I recently finished a compact cat feeder and made small upgrades — I added a USB charging port and a larger battery so it can run for months. I put together a short demo video and linked the project notes; if you’re curious, please watch the clip and read the full write-up.

I built a simple, single-portion programmable cat feeder in about four days using rapid prototyping. I describe the Fusion360 sizing, plywood shell, servo mechanism, electronics, and the issues I encountered with breakout boards. If you're curious, read the full post for parts list, wiring and source code.
