Birdhouse Downy Woodpecker

**UPDATE:** I fine-tuned the design to create a tunnel entrance of precise depth, 25.4 mm, while also angling the rooftop and vents based on expertly crafted birdhouse plans. Both original and revised versions are available, with the new files labeled V2. In V2, all parts are carefully oriented for hassle-free printing without support. Cheers! This is a Downy Woodpecker birdhouse designed specifically for my kids to enjoy in our backyard. It's my first design project, and I drew inspiration from reliable dimensions found on an ornithology enthusiast website in my area. Feel free to experiment with it and make improvements. The four included files feature the entire house, as well as split sections tailored to fit a standard 25x21x21 bed - simply reorient the parts for proper printing. The design boasts strategically placed vents just below the rooftop, holes for efficient drainage at the bottom, and attachment points at the back for secure installation. To ensure long-term usability, I plan on incorporating hinges from this clever design https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1096475, allowing easy cleaning every year. Thanks for checking out this birdhouse project! Enjoy your bird-watching adventures!
