Bird plucker/cleaner upper

thingiverse

You need small rubber plucking fingers mounted on a drill as a bird cleaner/plucker. I purchased mine from Ukraine. Pluckers take 18 and they come in packs of 20. We discovered using this tool can completely pluck a bird, but it's easier to do big things by hand and then use the tool for finishing. It makes more sense when used on an almost plucked bird than one fully covered in feathers. I created another design with big 10cm fingers and unfortunately found that they pierced the skin and pulled out the meat, making them useless. I'm not uploading this file as it is unsafe to share. Heavy-duty model features a thicker base (4mm) reinforced corners and a larger inside washer for extra support. You should print with settings of at least 0.2 resolution or the holes won't form in a good circle. I prefer printing at 40% infill as well, but I used shells on two or three instances before finding it fine. The model works better using PLA and you'll need to increase it by about one percent when printed from ABS if the finger spaces get too small. A six millimeter bolt with a lock nut or two should fit the model.
