What happens when you have one auger lying around, and a laser cutter that you’re just dying to make something with? You make a dog-food hopper!
The motor assembly was taken out of an old CD-ROM drive, and the rest was modeled around it via Google Sketchup. It was then exported to SVG and sent to the laser. Everything went better than expected 🙂
Now all that’s left to do is to cut some trash-can inserts out of plywood to keep the kibble near the auger pickup.
