Summary

Water dispenser for pets, using a PET bottle as reservoir.

Stable with a small (12 fl. oz. / 50 cl) bottle, but if using a larger one (like the 1.5 liter bottle in the picture), tethering to something like the leg of a table is highly recommended.

Use common sense when selecting plastic if you intend on feeding your pets from this. I printed with inert Taulman Nylon with great success, which also makes the bowl more or less indestructible.

How I Designed This

Big kudos to JohK's original design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:38224), which looks a lot better than mine; but I couldn't fit it on the bed of my new Kossel, so this one is specifically designed to fit a 170 mm diameter circular print bed.
