I saw the "Gravity Feed Dog Water Bowl" by drewbuckingham, and wanted to print it for my dog to use. My first attempt was in PLA which created a couple of problems. The model had some issues with some of its seems and points where he had built the model that my slicer could not seal properly. It was also a fairly "blocky" model that was not smooth inside the bowl. I rebuilt the model and cleaned up the seams, then smoothed it out a little more. I finally printed it in PETG, which worked far better than PLA. And is supposed to be more stable for storing and holding water.

I increased the number of base layers so that the bottom was solid, and over-extruded(1.15) so as to create a better seal. I used 3 shell layers as well.
