Ryan's Bird Feeder

thingiverse

Ryan's Bird feeder was designed to accept one plastic SOLO cup full of bird seed, printed out of ABS for its incredible strength as well as being a challenge to manufacture. The post glides through the base and gets locked in by a key on the underside, serving not only as a place to attach your hanger wire but also locking the cup into the base with precision. Several notches in the underside allow you to easily find the center of gravity for your feeder, making it simple and effective. This project is the result of a lesson for my son that shows anyone can create whatever they imagine, teaching them that with just a drill and a few holes in the base for drainage, creativity knows no bounds. I've added the correct key to keep everything nice and tight, as the pesky squirrels were previously knocking the cup off. This bird feeder is now ready for mass production.
