This modern, elevated feeding station is the classiest way to feed your cat or dog! A simple woodworking + 3D printing project that's right at home in the coolest coffee shop. Also, am I the only one that thinks it looks like a desk for mini talk show host, and finds that hilarious?

The stand fits two metal food dishes, 4-3/4" in diameter and 1-1/2" deep. It's made of 5 pieces of stacked 3/4" baltic birch plywood. 3 of the pieces are 12-1/4" x 6-3/8", and the other two pieces are 11-3/4" x 5-7/8" (a half inch shorter in each direction). By stacking the pieces in an alternating pattern, a track is created all the away around the stand to hold the 3D printed marquee letters!

I modeled the marquee letters in Fusion 360 (along with the rest of this project), and 3D printed them with black PETG (link below) on my Prusa i3 MK3S.The letters are 0.20" thick, so they sit slightly beneath the outer edge of the plywood.

Thanks for watching :)

    Penny looks so happy with her new food dish, great problem solving
  • @JustMightDIY
    This turned out awesome! Love how you stacked the plywood. Penny is one lucky kitty!
  • @davebauerart
    Fun project. The exposed edge of the plywood really works well in this design. I like the 3d printed letters, great way to add detail.
  • @FixitFingers
    They may not all be for the cat... but they should be.
  • @AndyCPugh
    Penny is so cute! I may have mentioned that before. Nice feeder. Very marketable too!
  • @dean_duplantis
    Ooooo the tweezers from a pocket knife are the best. I knew they looked familiar. Morley, this is a good project. You could sell those.
  • @nakrul987

  • @TheGrantAlexander
    That's awesome Morley it turned out so well!! I'm surprised you didn't use the brad nailer to hold the layers in place, I was certain that this was going to be the project that you bought the nailer for😂
