Single Fat Ball Feeder

thingiverse

Human: Single Fat Ball Feeder. Initially designed as a ground-based feeder, but added loops to allow it to be hung from trees or other structures. Measuring 120mm across at the base and 78mm high, this feeder is both sturdy and compact. The lid is slip-on in design, making it easy for users with limited grip to open. This feature was intentionally incorporated to accommodate those who struggle with undoing complex mechanisms. An update has been made to the ring around the bottom of the feeder. While this change may be subject to revision in the future, its current form serves as a practical solution. A small indent has been created under the main body of the feeder, accompanied by a "spike" that fits snugly into it. This design allows the feeder to be securely positioned inside metal tubes used for garden lights, making it an ideal choice for those with non-functional lighting fixtures. All versions of this design have been printed successfully, and supports are recommended for both the body and lid to ensure stability during printing. As a novice user of Fusion 360, I am eager to receive constructive feedback on my creation. This feeder is only the second project I've completed using the software, with my first being a door wedge. Please bear in mind that I'm still learning and growing as a designer, and your input will be invaluable in helping me improve.
