Couldn't find any decent rat toys on here and decided to make my own design.

Nice toy, rats love it. They quickly figured out everything except the cups.

And about cups: slicer turn it upside down with auto orient, don't trust him)

Printed beautifully with Sunlu Meta PLA. Scaled it down to 90%, because I thought it was a bit big.
Printed with supports for the cups and the "halves" on their side. Fits together nicely.

The rats took a while to figure it out. But how cute is it?

Great model and she really tries 😃
Only couple of suggestions:
-make holes for hinge a little bigger, top part always sags and filament won't fit
- si plify the handles. Just round hole will work fine and will print easier

Made it for my sisters rats, they love it (edited)

Printed at 120% for my Eclectus parrots. Our male; Scoodles likes it!

He might be getting too good at it though, haha. After a couple attempts he can now get all the treats in under a couple minutes. (edited)

Great print. Completed all parts on first try.

Suggest you print the two flaps together.

Only two issues, the hinge holes are to small for filament, and the bolt does not turn all the way
