XXL Robust Bottle Bird Feeder with Filling Funnel
thingiverse
This is a massive plastic bottle bird feeder with a roof and bottle filling funnel that stands at 5L tall. The feeder can be used without the roof as it's quite large for some printers to handle comfortably. The bottle thread measures 38mm in diameter, featuring three distinct threads. You can view an image of the design here: http://www.capmold.com/images/pet_preform_mold_design_5_5.gif. This idea was inspired by user Gazorpa, who initially created it and shared it on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1673557. To print this feeder, I used a 0.8mm nozzle and varied the layer height between 0.2-0.6mm. A rope is attached securely using strong duct tape. _____________________________________________________________ IMPROVEMENTS MADE COMPARED TO INITIAL VERSION: 1) The feeder's sealing to the bottle neck has been significantly improved. 2) A capillary drainage system has been added, allowing rainwater that manages to seep through the threads towards the feeder to be directed into a canal. If this water meets the capillary tubes, it will be sucked out through the bottom of the feeder. Additionally, any rainwater that tries to crawl through the roof and reach the sides of the feeder will also be directed into the capillary tubes. 3) The filler shape has been improved to widen from top to bottom, preventing seeds from sticking inside the feeder's tube even if the print quality is poor. 4) The feeder spread cone shape has been optimized for better performance. 5) The feeder spread windows have been slightly enlarged for improved seed dispersal. 6) The V2 sealing of the filler funnel to the bottle neck has been further refined. 7) The V2.5 feeder roof now perfectly matches the Feeder V7 design. 8) All initial designs have been removed to streamline the project. 9) A new feeder roof (V2.5) has been added, featuring an outer diameter of 210mm, which is 11.42mm less than the previous version.
