Description

PDF

This is a remixed version of Kivimaki's bird feeder. I found that the original model was quite attractive, but the size of the holes in the base were too large. Now the holes are much smaller so seed does not fall through but still provides drainage for water. You will still need to occasionally clean out the feeder in case of rain, because the feed will get clumpy regardless.

Since I used Blender to hack this together, you might get a warning from your slicer about non-manifold edges. It should import anyway.

There is an optional file for the base without holes, in case you want to drill your own.

Since this is going to be sitting out in the sun, do not use PLA. Try PETG, especially transparent PETG for the center bin. For the photos, the lid and base were printed in ABS and the rest in PETG.
