Bird Feeder for small birds

Model Overview & Print Notes

This feeder is developed for small birds, and the staggered design prevents larger birds from landing on it.  The bottom section, holding the bird food, is attached via a twist-lock mechanism to the lid, allowing for easy refilling. It holds about 600ml/20fl.oz of seeds.    Printing The design does not require any supports .  Layer height 0.2mm or 0.3mm should work fine (if printing the base at 0.3mm, consider printing the topmost section with the attachment parts at 0.2mm for a smoother fit). Recommended infill settings are 10-20% .  I would advise to use PETG for printing these parts, as it will last longer outdoors than PLA.    The pictured parts were printed with a Prusa i3 MK3S and the appended pre-sliced files. They require around 245g/0.5lbs of PETG and about 12h of total print time.   Video Showcase
