This is a very niche problem…but I purchased this feeder to help control my cat's diet because they were becoming overweight. One of them (Yzma) figured out how to operate the “feed” button on the front display, thus dispensing herself a snack whenever she felt like it. Which completely negates the reason I bought it in the first place. 

I needed a solution because not only are they still fat, but I'm probably spending double the amount of money on food every month than I really need to. So, I designed this. It's not perfect and it's not pretty, but it serves it's purpose. 

I printed this on an Ender 3 V2 in PLA .4 nozzle, .2 layer height and 10% infill. It sticks onto the front of the feeder with command strips or double sided tape. After printing it and giving it a test fit, 4 contact points is really a bit overkill. So i'll work on editing the design for just 2 and update the files. 

Also, please let me know if it's just me that has this problem. Surely I can't be the only one.
