Needed something to feed our needy visiting squirrels by our front door. Don't give them peanuts, they take those and go bury them in the neighbor's plants! Give them walnuts, they'll eat them right on your porch.
Anyway, the first bowl, "NUTS" was fine, not perfect, and my first version "WATER" didn't work out too good, so I had to re-design the water bowl a little.
Make sure you print the waterbowl with almost SOLID walls. I used wall count of 5. Otherwise it will leak if your printer isn't setup perfectly. I put a little bit of support just under the water bowl, but that's it. The nuts bowl doesn't need any. I never went back and redesigned the nuts bowl to match exactly the water bowl. You can't tell anyway, the exterior is the same, just what's underneath is a little different.
