Summary

Hi,

It's "on window" (or any flat surface) bird feeder, so you can watch small birds eating. For last few years we were using Bird Feeder 4.0, but it had major flaw - it did not protected seeds from getting wet. And it's now also closed project so...

Anyway, when I saw A-FRAME bird house, I've decided to make my own feeder inspired by those two. Here it its -

Fully support free bird feeder with quite pleasant shape - enjoy!

To install it on the window, use some strong 3M/Scotch (or other brand) transparent, thick double side tape in the corners.

You can use any filament you like - but keep in mind, there is a lot of thin walls and materials like ABS will require heated chamber to print correctly (without cracking).

Version 2.0

After real trials, I've changed it a bit:

  • v2 is a bit higher (16cm)
  • roofs goes a bit more outside, to better protect against rain
  • roofs also are not straight now, but a bit bulked at the bottom
  • much bigger holes (it was hard for birds to go inside, previous size was for bird house/nest not bird feeder)
  • customizable branches, for now only two types (previous was much too short for the birds to land)

Branches

They require support to print, but you can use any small stick instead - like chopsticks.
