This is directions for building a simple home-cage dual sipper device without electronics.

Step 1: Make the cage mount to hold 2 sippers

  1. 3D print the housing - STL for 3D printing is here, or if you want to modify it the TinkerCAD design is here
  2. Bolt on Prime-Line MP9254 Mirror Bottom "J" Hanger Clip with an M4-8mm bolt and an M4 nut image
  3. Done!
