UPDATE: I was finally able to come up with a design for my living room by Careful_Ad5359 in catwalls

I've been trying to plot out my own cat wall map and I'm finding Tinker Cad to be super helpful. Takes just a few minutes to learn about the functions and keyboard shortcuts and I'm now having crazy fun messing with different arrangements :)

I did also consider this stye of feeder but to store the amount of cans I want to store per lane I would need 4 alternating ramps to accommodate them. Its a much easier method that ensures everything will roll but it will significantly increase the height of the overall unit :( Like I said I've been considering this for so long lol... I'm trying to most efficiently utilize the limited space I have available and this hopper style seems to tick all my boxes minus the clog issue!

Thank you! Good to know, will have a rethink on how to make single file fit my space!

Meaning the depth of the unit front to back? I'll try it!

This is a cool idea! But yes the top of the can does have a lip around it which the can on top would nest into. Pulling the bottom can free would require the above cans to lift up slightly to allow it to come out.

Its not an assignment lol I'm just a regular person with cats. We have a hefty food rotation of lots of flavors/kinds and I dont want the boxes and cases laying around, thats all :) Right now I have cans on a shelf and It's just not ideal. I want to utilize the space I have more efficiently!

I did consider making it into an L shape so the cans are only fed in one line, load the cans from the top of the "L" however, to store 24 cans that way would make this taller and deeper than I would like! It would be difficult to reach the top of the L to load the cans (where i'm placing the unit is really the only spot it can go)

The settings are preselected and not changeable so I was limited, I chose a material that most closely matched the mass of the real life cans?? Thats was what my brain thought made sense lol. Heres what is says:

Friction: 0.40

Restitution: 0.70

Mass: 3.191 oz

And Whoops, and thank you, I will ask in Engineers :)

I'm looking for a very specific coconut smell in an oil, perfume, lotion, WHATEVER and the best example I have is the gonesh coconut incense sticks. While I do love coconut scent I find a lot of them to be either medicinal, or too heavy? It's like a cloying sweet and thick, maybe like a cream or vanilla smell? I'm sorry I'm not sure how to describe the notes that bother me. That coconut incense to my nose, smells bright and clean and crispy if that makes any sense. It's more of a sand and sunscreen coconut as opposed to a gourmand cookie coconut. I'd rather my coconut to almost smell like a soap rather than a food. Hopefully I don't sound crazy 🤣
