Bird Cage

thingiverse

This is a basic bird enclosure utilizing standard 1.75mm filament (pre-extruded) as bars.\nI initially developed the design to accommodate my file Perched Dragon.\nThe top and bottom sections may look similar but they're not identical. The top features a hole for suspending the cage and a hook for hanging the ring perch, while the bottom has a hole for the T-perch.\nTo avoid issues when opening the enclosure door, make sure the door frame hinges are pointing up towards the top.\nThe door closes with a simple snap fit mechanism.\nA range of accessories is included, such as two types of perches and a food dish.\nFor smaller printers, I've added a three-part center ring to be printed in one go.\nBecause this print uses 1.75mm filament for the bars, don't resize any parts or adjust scaling - otherwise, they won't fit together properly.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: Up! Printer: Up Mini Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: .2mm Infill: as dense as possible Notes: This design uses decimal inch measurements\nYou may need to adjust your printer settings based on the parts being printed, affecting supports and infill density.\nWithout supports or sufficient infill for holes, you might need to drill them out after printing - so plan accordingly!\nPost-Printing\nThe size and shape of the enclosure will be determined by the length of bar selected.\nTo prevent the door from falling off when opened, ensure that door frame hinges are pointing up towards the top.\nWhen assembling, I recommend starting with the larger bars, performing dry fits first. Then glue each end one at a time before moving on to others.\nLay out the cage, center the ring, and apply glue.\nThe door's final touches can be achieved by gluing together its constituent parts.\nTo keep the ring perch steady, consider using some wire for support - this keeps it from spinning freely inside the enclosure.
