Description

THIS IS CURRENTLY A WORK IN PROGRESS.

 

I had been toying with the idea of creating something to feed birds in the winter, and also to provide water in the summer.

I came across a lot of nice designs, but I still wanted to put my own spin on it.
I kept it sleek and simple.

 

I designed this so it can be attached to a window using suction cups (hence the open back), and at the same time the openings for the suction cups can also be used for screw heads.

Additionally, two types of hooks are provided: a single hook and a double hook.
The double hook is made to hang on a fence with mesh openings of about 10 cm, like I have at home.

 

There are 2 inserts. One for food, one for water.
Both snap into place with 6mm x 2mm round magnets.

 

To use this method, you'll need 4 for the body and 4 for each tray. Depending on the material and printer, they might be snap-in or need a small dot of glue to stay in place.

 

Be sure to get the poles correct when inserting them.

 

The model is designed around these 30mm suction cups. The one from maker supply (added below) might also work (not tested)

 

Note: If you can't get the water tray to seal, add more walls or use a 2-compound epoxy or some titebond non-toxic wood glue.

 

Be sure to use a UV-resistant material to print these parts. Preferably material that isn't prone to temperature and the elements.
