Now You Can 3D Print an Automated Fish Feeder

[Brian_Krassenstein]

During the holidays, Helios Labs needed to automate fish feeding for their aquaponics system, and fast. Turning to 3D design, 3D printing, and Arduino software, they created a small 3D printed device that could feed fish in an automated fashion for up to a month. With the Arduino software running a modified servo, the team set up the food to be dispersed from the 3D printed device at intervals twice daily.

I have a PrintrBot Simple at school and would love to print something like this but I have no background in Arduinos. Would it be tough to set up that end of it?
