The Zevro dry food dispenser only allows a fixed dosage per portion. But what if you want to offer less, for example half a portion? This redesign allows just that.

You can use the supplied raised decks to vary the dosage. They reduce the volume between two rubber blades and can be removed or replaced with ease. The same goes for the fitting of the shaft of a knob or motor.

If you would like to tweak and tune further then it only takes replacement of some small parts as the main body of the rubber blade gear is the base.

Dimensions

  • The bounding sphere of this part has a diameter of just over 80 mm.
  • The fitting for the shaft is similar to the one present on Nema motors but then sized 7 mm in diameter with a 2 mm reduction.

Notes

  • The rubber blades are re-used so these are assumed to be available.
  • The main body in which the blades are fitted is completely redesigned.
  • The raised decks that reduce the dosage can be easily removed or replaced with custom volumes.
  • The side to which a shaft is attached can be replaced with a custom fitting.

Printing

  • Fill density: 15% (depending on the load on the fitting for the shaft the density can be increased for only this part).
  • Fill pattern: Grid.
  • No support needed.

Assembly

  • Slide the rubber blades into the main body.
  • Assemble the side with the blob by inserting the 6 connectors and the center hexagon.
  • Find the side of the main body where the 6 connectors can sink in and insert the assembled part.
  • Insert the fitting for the shaft on the other side of the main body.
  • Slide in the raised decks creating an enclosed inner volume using the the side walls of the decks.
