Parasol top with hole for ornament

thingiverse

My MIL was pestered by giant birds that, while perching on top of her parasol, crapped all over it. Her solution involves duct tape - it works, but it sure isn't pretty. It turned out I needed another thread (25mm, pitch 2.5) than the one that came with Marc0Polo's design. I've also added a hole for mounting a spire or whatever you expect will dissuade larger birds from using it as a perch. I used a cat, found here on thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3003775/files) and added a threaded hole (9 mm-ish depending on printer and material). Yes, it's an 'odd' dimension, but it's moot now. Material: PETG. Quality: Whatever your patience allows - I went with Coarse (0.3) and 30% infill - it's more than 2 meters above ground - no-one'll notice. Printer: Should be irrelevant, but mine's an A8 w. alu hotbed. Non-toxic gluesticks keeps me happy.
