Antproof Bowl

This is a bowl I designed to keep ants out of my chicken feed. My chickens love mealworms, but the ants like them more. If I put them in a regular bowl I'll usually have 30-100 ants inside the dish within 15 minutes, and the chickens wont even bother eating.

Add water to the base, and thread the top in and it'll create a moat of water that the ants can't swim accros.

I tested this by putting it outside with some mealworms close to the ants. I left it for 3 hours and there were 2 ants in it, however they were stuck and just ran around in circles unable to find their trail back to the nest.

I do not recommend using anything other than water as it could poison the animals.

This was designed for my CR-10, however you can scale it down to 75% to fit the Ender 3. Photos are of 75% scaled down version, printed on Ender 3.

Print the base oriented correctly (opening facing up) and the top oriented upside-down (opening on build plate)

Ive printed with both a .4 nozzle, and a
