Felaqua Connect Spanner
What is a Felaqua Connect?
Felaqua Connect is a smart (IOT) water bowl for cats made by SurePetCare.
More information about it can be read here: https://www.surepetcare.com/en-us/felaqua-connect
What is the point of the spanner?
This is a simple tool that makes it easier for you to open the reservoir tank lid on the Felaqua Connect by giving you a little bit of mechanical advantage and altering the action and grip.
If you have arthritis and/or difficulty opening jars, this will help you.
An example gcode file is provided for PETG at an acceptable infill density to improve strength and durability of the tool
How do I use the spanner?
Removing the lid
- Remove the reservoir from the base station, invert it and place it on a sturdy surface (See the image that shows the two notches circled in red)
- Place the spanner over the top of the reservoir lid so that the forks fits sit either side of the central vanes as shown in the photo showing the dotted green lines in line with the dotted red lines.
- Holding the base firmly in one hand, gently turn the spanner to release the reservoir lid to the point where you could turn it by hand without the spanner. You should only need to to turn it 90 degrees as shown in the photo showing the green and red dotted lines 90 degrees from each other.
- The lid should now be easily removed by hand and put to one side.
Refitting the Lid
- With the open reservoir sitting on a sturdy surface.
- Place the lid into the reservoir body and turn it by hand until it is within 90 degrees of being fully closed/sealed.
- Place the spanner over the top of the reservoir lid so that the forks fits sit either side of the central vanes as shown in the photo showing the dotted green and dotted red lines 90 degrees from one another.
- Holding the base firmly in one hand, gently turn the spanner to close the reservoir lid. You should only need to to turn it 90 degrees as shown in the photo showing the green and red dotted lines parallel to each other. Do not try to tighten it any further as damage to the reservoir may result.
- The tank should be sealed and the notches in the lid and the body in line allowing you to place it back on the Felaqua body.
