Eheim Auto Feeder Ring WTB

[Paul Kachirsky]

I am looking to see if anybody has designed a feeding reading for the Eheim auto feeder for a rimless tank. I have one of the magnetic rings now, but it moves around from the flow and I’m looking for something more sleek. If you design this, please let me know. Thank you.

I can design one. what thickness glass and how close to the top of the glass is your water level?

The glass is 3/8 thick and the water is just under 2 inches from the top. Innovative marine sr-60 is the tank.

How far into the water does it go?

Something like this?

Looks nice. How low in the water column will it be? What Material do you print with? You have black? The sizing is based off of the attached pic?

will post dimensions tomorrow

ok, so, I'll try to answer all your questions.
2" is about 50mm so the ring is about 15mm above the water and ~10mm below so ripples don't spill out all the food.
All these dimensions are in mm, the parenthesis just means they're forced dimensions, from the object's geometry, not negative.
I have black PETG. I print Inland PETG and PETG+ (whatever MicroCenter has in stock) I have some Creality PETG I'll be printing too.
The ring will accommodate any feeder that is under 60mm (2-1/4") wide. Just double check the feeder width for me. I've had three of those and they've all had different bases.

Sorry for my delay. Here are pictures of the measurements.

[Paul Kachirsky]

How much?

 

[Projects with Sam]

You posted you wanted it for $10? After you pick it up I'll raise the price to $15 I think.

I may change the design slightly if when I print it it feels too flimsy or something. I'll let you know; or you can wait for me to properly prototype it.
