A simple and sturdy bird/critter feeder designed to mount onto any standard U-channel signpost (the kind commonly used for road signs). I installed one in my workplace parking lot so I could watch birds during my breaks.
- Attaches with just two M5 screws (easy installation).
- Features a 3mm drain hole to prevent rainwater buildup.
- The drain hole can be plugged to convert it into a birdbath.
- If printing with UV-sensitive filament, I recommend applying a clear UV protectant. For added durability, dusting the final layer with Titanium Dioxide powder can help reflect UV light and reduce gloss.
It’s a straightforward design that does the job well, whether for feeding birds or providing a small water source.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
