PETTOPID DESIGN NOTES / 3 MIN READ
01 / Height, chosen individually
3D printing builds a digital design layer by layer.[1] We can set the stand’s height in that design, alongside its shape and personal details. That flexibility is why we print.
Choose from the heights offered on the product page, considering the liner’s size and your dog’s routine. Height is set before printing and fixed once made.
Height is a design choice, not a health promise. For medical feeding needs, follow your veterinarian’s advice.
02 / Two parts, two jobs
Brings the shape, height and personal detail. Food and water do not belong directly in the printed cavity.
Keeps meals separate from the printed stand. Lifts out for regular washing, with easy access to the space underneath.
A material name alone does not establish food-contact compliance. This story makes no certification claim.[5]
03 / The everyday care edit
Different parts deserve different care. Follow the instructions supplied with your exact product.
01
Use dish soap and water; rinse and dry. Clean after wet-food meals, and daily for dry food and water. Dishwasher only if labeled suitable.[2]
02
For PLA, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Remove residue, dry thoroughly and avoid abrasives or prolonged soaking.
03
PLA is heat-sensitive. No dishwasher, boiling water, microwave or oven for the stand. Avoid radiators and hot cars.[3]
Reassemble dry, with the liner seated securely on a level surface. If disinfection is needed, confirm a compatible method first.
Fine print lines can be normal; cracks, warping or separated layers are not. Inspect regularly and stop using damaged parts. Keep the stand away from chewing and hard impacts. Lifespan depends on design, handling and conditions—not a promise in years.
04 / A thoughtful material story
Our practical aim: an object you want to keep, with separate parts you can care for. Ask about compatible replacements before discarding an otherwise usable component.
Printing still uses materials and energy; we do not claim measured environmental savings. PLA does not guarantee home composting, breakdown in nature or curbside recycling. Check local disposal rules—specific choices matter more than sweeping green labels.[4]
