Figure Lengend Snippet: A ) CAD-generated chassis component models were rendered into a print configuration consisting of four individual parts: the I = main body, II = case cover, III = mount plate, and IV = food holder. B ) Shows the print configuration imported into Ultimaker Cura printing software (red = outermost chassis wall; yellow = top surface; and cyan = removable supports). This process enabled the transformation of the C ) original 3D SnackerTracker TinkerCAD model into D ) the final assembled device. See Figshare for videos showing 3D printing and construction (Data and Software Availability).
Article Snippet: The chassis was created using TinkerCAD computer-aided design (v2022, AutoDesk Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA), visualised using BabylonJS (v5.3.0, BabylonJS, San Diego, CA, USA), and animated using Maya (v2024.1, RRID:SCR_014287, AutoDesk Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA).
