Parameterized Bird House Roof

thingiverse

When my wife and I discovered that the squirrels had devoured the pine-cone-tile roof from our handmade birdhouse, we swiftly decided to upgrade it with a sturdy shingle/tile roof. The original design featured a dowel top supported by two flat sides, but we realized we needed an additional cap to ensure water wouldn't seep in. To achieve this, I used a Python Blender script that allowed me to customize the dimensions of each part according to my needs. I printed two separate roof pieces and one cap piece, carefully angling them so they could be printed without any scaffolding assistance.
