Summary

Although there are a number of other Bird Feeders for Wingspan already on Thingiverse none of them quite did what I wanted. So I made my own design. The key features are:-

  • Main Birdhouse is strong.
  • Same overall dimensions as the original cardboard item supplied with the game.
  • Can be picked up by the house and moved around without coming apart - but NO MAGNETS required.
  • Extra piece at the back so you can drop dice vertically into the feeder.
  • No massive print times. The three main parts in this design print in about 6-7 hours each rather than 27hrs for the one-piece designs I have seen elsewhere. The extra back piece was around 3 hrs.

I deliberately made the join between the two house parts a wavy line as I thought you could disguise that as a feature of the wood if you were to paint this. The two halves could be glued together but they snap together quite nicely and I don't; think it is necessary. Maybe just to hold the front edge smoothly in line.

The wedges in the base tray hole the house and tray together when picked up. Just place the house in front of the wedges and then slide it back to use. Then slide it forward to dismantle and store the game.

I hope you like this version.
