Digibirds Perch

The perch is mounted to a flat wall using a bit of double sided tape. I included an alternate version of the mounting part with screw holes, but I'm not about to screw this thing into my furniture or walls 😅.

Printing

I included a picture of how I positioned everything on the plate. The hardest part is the large bow. All parts are designed to be printed without any supports.

Required parts:

• 4 * M3x10 taper head self tapping screws. You can use screws from 10mm to 14mm long.
• 1 * M3x35 taper head bolt for the axle. You can use a bolt from 35mm to 50mm long
• 1 * M3 hex nut

Post-printing and assembly

1. Use a 3mm drill to drill out all the screwholes before use. Some of the holes are closed with a thin layer of material to help with clean printing.
2. Push the hex nut into the hole on the tip of the mount.
3. Due to bridging artifacts, the axle hole of the large bow might be too tight for the axle to spin freely. If this is the case, file out the inside of the hole until the axle moves and spins freely.
4. Test the branch holes to see if the bow legs fits inside. If they don't comfortably fit, file a bit. 
5. Attach the perch part to the branch with two screws.
6. Slip the bow through both branch holes at the same time, and at the same rate! You don't want to move one leg faster than the other, or they will get stuck and break. 
7. Screw the branch onto the bow from the sides
8. Slide the axle into the bow's axle hole, and attach it to the mount with the M3x35 bolt.
9. There is an optional little plug to fill out the hole on the bottom of the branch. I didn't use it, but if you want to close that hole, you will have to glue this plug in place.
