Printing Recommendations:
- Print with PETG or ASA for outdoor durability
- No supports needed for most printers

- 0.2mm layer height works well for this design
Installation Tips:
- Mount 5-8 feet high on a post or tree
- Face entrance hole away from prevailing winds
- Position with morning sun exposure if possible
- No need to add a perch (birds don't need them and they can help predators)
