Make a cat food pouch dispenser to 3D print.
Sized to your pouches, a cat face or a name, a lid with ears.
The Pouch Dispensers generator makes a tower for wet-food pouches: you fill it from the top, and the oldest pouch slides out at the bottom first. You set it to the thickness of your pouches and the size of your printer. The front carries a cat's face or a name, paws run up the sides, and the lid can have ears.
How to make a pouch dispenser
Pick your printer
A1 mini, or A1 / P1S / X1C, so the tower fits the bed.
Measure a pouch
Its thickness (6 to 20 mm); the opening and a gentle ramp are set from it.
Size the tower
Width, depth and height to fit the shelf.
Decorate it
A cat face or a name on the front, paws debossed, embossed or cut, and a lid with ears, flat, or none.
Export and print
Download and print.
Good to know
The pouches stay sealed inside; the dispenser stores them and is not a food container.
Questions
Will my pouches fit?
Set the pouch thickness (6 to 20 mm) and the width and depth; the opening is sized from them.
Which printers is it sized for?
A Bambu Lab A1 mini, or the larger A1, P1S and X1C beds.
Can it show my cat's name?
Yes, engraved or embossed on the front instead of the face.
What file do I get?
A 3MF, which keeps each colour as its own object for a multi-colour printer, or an STL. Every file is checked before it downloads: closed (watertight) geometry, a single shell and walls thick enough to print.
Is it free?
The free plan gives 3 designs a month on each generator. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence.
Licence
On the Free and Maker plans you may print your designs for yourself and as gifts, not for sale. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence and a licence certificate for each design. Pieces made during the free beta, before paid plans launched, may still be sold on the terms of that time. The exported files themselves can never be resold or redistributed, on any plan.
