Birdfeeder (no supports)

prusaprinters

<p>Easy to assemble with multiple parts (all can be 3d printed). &nbsp;If you'd prefer, you can use a bolt/nut (¼" or 6mm should work, ~35mm long) for the pin at the bottom that holds the base on. Also, you could use a standard aluminum carabiner instead of the 3d printed one. In the photos, the <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/34240-easy-hanging-quick-filling-printable-bird-feeder">blue version was a slightly smaller version I designed about 2 years ago</a>. It has held up very well in Midwest US sitting out all year long, but I scaled up the design before printing the black one (with a glow in the dark funnel section). The larger version, which should easily fit on a MK3 or Ender, is the version of the files uploaded, but there shouldn't be any issues scaling up/down somewhat. If anyone wants the original Fusion3D or step files, please let me know.</p><h4>Print Settings</h4><p>Most of these don't need anything more than 2-3 perimeters and ~15% infill, except maybe the center rod section (I printed with 4 perimeters).</p><h4>Print Orientation</h4><ul><li>Center Rod, Pin, and Carabiner should lay on their side (on a flat edge)</li><li>Funnel section should print inverted (no supports needed)</li><li>Top and base on big flat surface</li></ul><h4>Assembly</h4><ol><li>Slide “center rod” through “funnel”, aligning the holes at the bottom</li><li>Then, slide “base” onto bottom of "funnel", secure with “pin”</li><li>Fill with birdseed</li><li>Put “top” onto “funnel” assembly, then secure with carabiner</li><li>Hang/hook it up and watch out for birds!</li></ol><h4>Pin/Carabiner Attribution</h4><p>The pin and carabiner were design afterthoughts, so I grabbed a couple of files from printables and scaled them properly (both licenses require attribution and allow for remixing, but realistically I just scaled them to fit).</p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/11939-above-ground-pool-pin">Pin original design here</a>, by <a href="https://www.printables.com/social/36803-therooster">TheRooster</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/124595-simple-carabiner">Carabiner original design here</a>, by <a href="https://www.printables.com/social/19031-breaksnmakes"><strong>Breaks'n'Makes</strong></a></p>
