The Kibble Kaddy

The Kibble Kaddy: The Ultimate Quick-Connect Aquarium Feeder Tired of fumbling with messy fish food containers or worrying about tank humidity ruining your pet's pellets? Meet The Kibble Kaddy, a side-mounted aquarium feeder designed for ultimate convenience and measured portion control. Inspired by the reliable pull-slide mechanism of a candy dispenser, this functional print takes the guesswork out of feeding time. Instead of relying on a 3D-printed hopper that can trap moisture, this design features a quick-connect system that allows you to attach your store-bought kibble bottle directly to the mechanism! Just attach the bottle, pull the slider to dispense a perfect portion into the tank, and detach the bottle to seal it back up with its original lid. Key Features: Measured Portion Control: The integrated slide mechanism guarantees a consistent, precise food drop every time you pull the lever. Zero-Transfer Hopper System: Stop transferring food into 3D-printed bins. The quick-connect top mounts right to your existing food bottle, keeping the kibble completely fresh and safe from tank evaporation. Tank-Safe Flex Hinge: The mounting bracket features a specially engineered flexure relief hole. It acts as a living hinge, springing open just enough to snap over your tank's rim securely without risking damage to the glass or snapping the plastic clip. Dovetail Mount: The main dispenser body slides seamlessly onto the bracket's dovetail joint for incredibly easy removal and cleaning. Recommended Print Settings: Orientation (Crucial!): You must print the mounting clip lying completely flat on its side. This ensures the layer lines run continuously around the flex hinge, giving the clip the structural strength it needs to snap onto the tank without delaminating. Material: PETG is highly recommended for its natural flexibility and resistance to tank humidity, but PLA works perfectly for standard setups. Build Volume: Compact and optimized to fit comfortably on smaller build
