3D model description

Explore the intersection of technology and pet care with this Smart Fish Feeder powered by ESP32-CAM. This 3D-printed feeder ensures your aquatic friends are fed reliably and precisely. The open-source firmware, available on GitHub for free, allows you to customize feeding schedules and control the portion size using interchangeable feeding disks (10mm and 15mm). Check the video montage and see it working at the end!

Features
- ESP32-CAM Integration: Leverage the power of ESP32-CAM for potential future enhancements like remote monitoring through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
- Customizable Firmware: Easily tweak the feeding schedule and portion sizes by modifying the open-source firmware to suit your aquatic pets' needs.
- Interchangeable Feeding Disks: Tailor the amount of food dispensed with two feeding disks—10mm for a smaller serving and 15mm for a larger one.
- Reliable Servo Mechanism: Utilizes an SG90 micro servo for precise and consistent feeding.

Required hardware:
- 1 sg90 micro servo like this one from aliexpress
- 1 ESP32-cam AI-Thinker like this one from aliexpress
- 4 M3 20mm self tapping screws like this one from aliexpress

How to Use:
- Assembly: Print the 3D parts (body, body cap, disk, container, and container cap) and assemble them with 4 M3 screws 20mm long for a sturdy structure.
- Firmware Setup: Download the open-source firmware from GitHub and flash it onto the ESP32-CAM.
- Feeding Customization: Adjust the feeding schedule in the firmware to meet your fish's dietary requirements. Also pick one of the disks according to the amount of food per serve your fish need

  • Power On: Power up the feeder, and it will automatically dispense food once and then every 12 hours according to your customized schedule.

Enhance your fish-keeping experience with this innovative Smart Fish Feeder—making feeding time a breeze while providing a hands-on experience with both 3D printing and IoT technology.
