Screw on glass bottle hanging bird feeder

thingiverse

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: It appears that bids are too greedy and clumsy, only 6 little birds empty a 0.25l bottle of seeds in less than 2 days and almost a 1/4th of it ended on the floor. Thus I tweaked my thing accordingly, I changed the control ring so it can close the seeds holes more, I made the plate part of the distributor deeper and added a big lip. So, hopefully, there should be less seeds in the feeder's plate and seeds shouldn't escape it. If you ever printed the first distributor model and don't want to print it again, I added rings you can glue to the distributor that should prevent seed falls. (update's update: it works as intended, I can now almost stop the seeds flow, and there's virtually no more seed spilt on the floor) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted a nice bird feeder for my parents balcony, but couldn't find one I liked. So I found a 1/4th litre glass bottle laying around my place and designed one myself. I'm not that happy with the roof part look, but I'm not good enough in virtual sculpting yet to achieve what I had first in mind. Still this very simple solution do the job. I thought the distributor part so birds can empty the bottle to the last seed. The control ring allows to adapt birdseeds flow to seeds size, birds appetite or messiness. I initially made the distributor bottom flat to spare on support settings and cleaning, but it also make the feeder rather stable, so if you don't want to hang it, you can just set it on a flat surface. I also provide models for a 1l bottle, but I only printed myself a screw on test part for this size. And I also add a funnel since I noticed filling the bottle can be rather messy.
