Khing San Tan, of Holland, got his first 3D printer last April. With his da Vinci 1.0, San Tan found ways to design and make all sorts of new household items -- including a recent build to help make his household a little merrier. San Tan's wife was having a problem with their household cat, which was demanding attention and begging for food far too early in the morning. He looked to Thingiverse for inspiration, ultimately deciding to create an automatic cat feeder. He modified the design in SketchUp, then used 3D printed parts alongside components he'd had had around the house -- including the motor from an electric screwdriver.
