My automatic dog feeders work great but only hold enough food for a few days so I designed and printed a funneling system and a resovoir to hold the entire bag so all I have to do is fill the resovoir when I get a new bag. Works great.
Edit: don't know why the photo uploaded sideways. Sorry about that.

How do those bowls work for slowing down their chow time? We've got one dog that eats so quickly, he throws it back up sometimes.
What's the problem? I assume your dog just eats it's vomit like a good pepper right?
You would be correct but he's not the best at cleaning the carpet up after his ejection event.
We have a puzzle bowl for our dog. Works great!
They're on a timer and I can set how much food is dispensed. I feed them twice a day different amounts for each dog and they know (most of the time) which bowl is theirs and don't touch the other one.
EDIT: I realized you might be talking about the puzzle bowls specifically. The food fills the crevices and it's harder to get the food out so it slows them down some.
Great as long as they don't figure out how to knock the bowl over and eat off of the floor. Went from about 5-10 seconds to around 30-45.
You can't see it in the picture, but I have these braces I printed that holds the bowls in place. They can spin but they don't come out.
