Modular Bird Feeder Perch for Gazorpa’s Soda Bottle Feeder Base

thingiverse

I modified Gazorpa's Soda Bottle Bird Feeder by adding a modular perch that expands the feeder's diameter to approximately 180mm. The tolerance is quite tight, so it's recommended to scale up slightly; I used 102% and submerged it in hot water before sliding it over the feeder base rim and quickly squeezing both tabs together as the plastic cools. Once it cools and hardens, it should fit snugly. Glue isn't necessary, but a small drop will keep it securely in place. Feel free to print as many as you need (12 would cover the entire base for a full circle). To save on plastic, consider printing 3-6. Support isn't required, but a zero offset skirt/brim and 3-4 outlines are suggested to ensure the inner tab stays put during printing. I printed this with 20% infill, 3 top, 3 bottom, and 3 perimeters. To save time, I managed to fit three onto my Monoprice Select Mini.
