I was looking for a design for a bluebird house, and saw the Bluebird House from historyhunters2, but I also wanted to try my hand at designing one of my own. So, I hopped over to Tinkercad and began putting a similar one together myself.
I also wanted to make sure that I followed the suggestions on Wild Birds Forever's site as far as dimensions are concerned, and wasn't certain that historyhunter2's design followed them (turns out their design does meet them, too).
Regardless, it was my first hand at a design that is a bit more complex than what I've done previously, and I tried to make sure that it can be printed support-free.
The biggest issue that I ran into is that when it is assembled, the sides tended to flare out a bit, so, after a long, long time spent with this sitting on my shelf, I came back to it, and added the "Bottom" bracket piece, which simply affixes to the bottom and can be glued in place. It will functionally hold the rest of the piece together, you can then just slide the other pieces in and out as you need. Also after that long stretch of waiting, I redesigned the bottom door, as it was a bit too short, but other than that, it appears to be functional.
