Bird Temple

For a brand new and even better version on my own website, check out https://www.designuitinspiratie.nl/vogel-tempel-2/ Unfortunately, I'm unable to get the pictures in chronological order. Knowing this, I numbered the pictures that show the assembly of this model in advance. In the left upper corner, the number is shown in white. If someone knows how to order the pictures in the correct order, please let me know. This is a bird feeder for small birds. Larger birds simply can't get in :-). You can put food for them in the green feeder-dish in the middle. The feeder has a hole in the middle to let water out. Also, the feeder can be removed for cleaning. In use, that will be necessary :-). The pieces fit together like a puzzle and they are glued. Later I painted it with insulating primer to get rid of the "printer tool marks" you can see on the pictures. I have no reason for the colors of PLA I have chosen other than that I had those. The two different colors are due to the fact I used two printers to save time. I printed this in 0.2mm resolution with a 0.4mm nozzle. The temporary support pieces are printed with only one wall count and one top and bottom layer. Infill of these support pieces is 10%. This is to save material :-). The other pieces are printed with three layers for the wall, top, and bottom. Infill between 20-25%. The roof pieces are printed with support generated by Cura. The mount or ring at the top is fastened with a M3x40mm bolt and nut. At first, I designed this "mount" in three pieces, but later changed it to two pieces due to other changes I made. To make this part strong enough, I used PET-G Carbon to print this piece. This material looks very nice, but it turns a brass nozzle into garbage after a few prints :-). For this, a hardened steel nozzle is better, but such a nozzle is expensive (€30,- where I live). If you have questions or think I've forgotten something, feel free to ask :-)
