Family Build Journal · First Public Mission

Robotic Cat Toilet Build

Matt and his daughter are building a 3D-printed robotic cat toilet together. This family build journal is the public journey: steady progress when build nights happen, the construction, the experiments, the mistakes, the fixes, and the things learned along the way.

Current status

3D printed parts are complete. Assembly is underway. The first real photo update will establish the starting point.

Build ingredients

Mechanical assembly, printed parts, electronics, soldering, coding, testing, and practical cat-safe design thinking.

Story style

Family build journal, not a sterile instruction manual — what happened, what we learned, and what comes next.

Project page started

This page is ready for the first real photo drop. No robotic cat toilet build photos are published here yet. Once Matt sends the first batch, the placeholders below become a real public-safe gallery and story update.

Photo bay is armed: send 1–3 build photos plus a sentence about what happened, and Chewie will update the private notes first, then prepare a sanitized Family Build Journal entry for preview.

Photo Drop Workflow

What Chewie needs with each batch

This is not a daily reminder project. When Matt and his daughter get a build night, a small batch of photos is enough for Chewie to create private build notes, ask only useful missing questions, and draft the next public Family Build Journal update.

1 · InspectChewie identifies visible parts, progress, tools, and safety questions.
2 · AskOnly the few missing questions needed for a good entry.
3 · DraftPrivate notes first, then public-safe journal copy.
4 · PublishPreview, sanitize, then update the live site.
