Base adapter for larger birds

thingiverse

I originally printed the bird feeder as a gift for my mother (which she loved). While it is still holding up exceptionally well, she noticed most of the larger birds were having trouble landing on it. As a solution, I designed this adapter which can easily be press-fitted beneath the base and does not require any adhesive to hold it in place. Additionally, if you happen to be experiencing stabilization issues, I incorporated a screw with a small through-hole to allow for fishing line to be threaded through it and a weight to be attached to the opposing end. If you encounter any problems press-fitting the adapter, you may gently tap it into place using a rubber mallet. Cheers!
