Apex Autofeeder Bracket

[vetteguy53081]

Adjusting the design for 1 1/8" brace is not a problem. Were you thinking about the floating food ring too as in the picture?

No ring

No ring

I will adjust the design. What color ABS? Blue, red or black

The pictures help very much. I can adjust the bracket to fit with the screw holes positioned to go into the channel from below. Looks like center point is 1 1/2" from the edge?

Yes please!

I'd like two in black, without the floating feeder ring.

How do I pay you?

Working with the track being 3/4" or slightly under and the center of that groove 1.5" from the edge. If it's different than that let me know.

Had a request for a food ring to work with the Euro Brace AFS holder. I think the design is done and have printed a prototype. Will work with existing holders if anyone is interested they will be $10 plus $4 shipping. Will float in the aquarium under the AFS. Will adjust to changing water level if return pump is slowed during feeding, up to a maximum of 4" distance between water level and top of the Euro Brace. Cad photo below. Will post actual photos when I get a final print and make sure it functions as intended.

Is this on Thingaverse or shared anywhere?

Sorry it is not.

You ever do one for a standard rim tank?

Yes I can do rimless or a tank with the standard plastic rim. I don't get many requests since the AFS bracket that comes with it designed for a vertical tank wall. I had a request for one that could be used to mount the AFS much higher than the rim.

I have this and it works like a champ

I have a canopy so being able to slip around the lip and being forward enough to allow the usb connection. Similar to the pic above but extend out vs up.

Ah I see what you are trying to do. Yes I can alter the design. Would need to know what distance you want from the back of the apex to the inside edge of the canopy.
I have two designs. The original holds the black bracket that comes with AFS and it just slips in on the sides. The AFS then connects to it. The newer version connects the AFS directly to my bracket.

How thick is your tank wall/rim? The usual bracket will fit over a 3/4" thick wall/brace but I can adjust if necessary.

New modification from a request. EuroBrace style tank with a screen top. AFS is raised 1" and shifted forward 1/2" to allow a screen top to slip between the AFS and the bracket attached to the EuroBrace. Pictured is the new version which connects the AFS directly to the bracket. AFS Bracket is still $17.99 shipping is now $4 as it's costing more than the $3 I was charging previously. Bracket is held onto tank brace with nylon screws from below (not pictured) Any questions or special requests contact me.

I would be interested in a black one

Need to be more specific on your particular tank. Rimless/Euro brace.
Bracket that holds the AFS directly?
Photo of where you want the bracket might help.

You also send these to the netherlands?

You also send these to the netherlands?

Yes
USPS international first class package is $16usd

I would like one of your brackets in black. I'd like one that attaches directly to the AFS and would fit on a canopy. I believe your original design would work. The thickness of the wood is only like 1/4". I will attach a photo of where it sits.

Mine is available for sale. They work well
