About this model

A motorized pet food dispenser that mounts onto an off-the-shelf clip-lock plastic container (~1.7 L / 60.5 oz, the kind sold at Dollarcity). A motor drives a worm screw, which turns a crown wheel at a reduced speed and a right angle — that crown wheel is keyed to a feed screw (auger) that pushes kibble out through the front outlet. The worm/crown mesh also keeps the auger from free-spinning when the motor is off, so food doesn't dribble out on its own. Features - Mounts onto a standard ~1.7 L (60.5 oz) clip-lock container — no custom container needed - Worm-gear driven auger: consistent portions, self-locking when idle (no gravity feed/spill) - Compact footprint: base is ~102 x 102 x 57 mm - Fully printable mechanism — only the motor and a few electronic parts are bought - Raspberry Pi Pi…
