Description

First visitors in the Bluebird house!

 

Update Jan 2026 - Added profiles to correct the dimensions on the Wren houses.  The hole height above the floor dimension was 20 mm too high in the original profiles. I'm not sure if it makes a difference to the birds but a user pointed out a problem in the profile and I decided to publish an entirely correct profile.  Sorry for the error!  I'm leaving the originals up for now in case you've already make that version and still need the profile.

 

Parametric birdhouses designed in Fusion for Bluebirds, Wrens, Chickadees, Titmice, and Nuthatches — each with the correct hole size, floor dimensions, and ledges to encourage the right species.  Includes a built-in Blink Outdoor 4 camera mount so you can watch nesting, hatching, and fledging up close.  Watch your backyard birds thrive!

Key Features

Species-Tailored Design

  • Hole diameter, height, and floor size matched to each bird’s preferences
  • Internal fledging ledges where recommended
  • Separate fronts included for Eastern vs. Western/Mountain Bluebirds, Carolina vs. other Wrens, and Nuthatches or Chickadees and Titmice

Camera Integration

  • Clip-in mount for Blink Outdoor 4 (battery-powered, wireless)
  • Quick access for cleanout or camera maintenance — loosen just 2 screws

Smart Construction

  • Top ventilation slots + floor drains
  • Tool and glue-free dovetail joints join the base, sides and back — only 4 screws needed (2 top, 2 front)
  • Mount on post (rear screws) or pole (bottom bracket, sized for 1½″ but will clamp to smaller diameters)
Boost MeI always appreciate your interest in my models!  Thanks for considering a boost!

Printing Tips

  • Print in PETG or ASA for weather resistance
  • Parts are large flat pieces — ensure good bed adhesion (clean plates, high quality glue, heated chamber for ASA)!
  • Supports are enabled for key areas; recommend separate support material for best results (e.g., use Support for ABS for an ASA print, accept Bambu Studio's suggested support parameter changes)
  • Choose the front for your desired species (for example, Eastern or Western/Mountain bluebird in the Bluebird profile)
  • Optional build plate for pole mount included in each profile

Assembly Overview

  1. Install M3 heat-set inserts: 2 per side (top + front), 4 in base if pole-mounting
  2. Slide sides and back into dovetail joints (clean supports from dovetails first; add light oil if tight)
  3. Clip in camera if desired.  Place camera lens near center of roof panel for best field of view.  You can adjust the camera slightly in the holder to get a view you like.
  4. Attach top with two M3×12 screws, then front with two more
  5. For post mount: secure through back screw holes
  6. For pole mount: attach bracket with four M3x6 screws; tighten printed clamp screw to pole

Extra Info

  • The Blink Outdoor 4 camera is widely available on Amazon and often discounted during Prime Day / Black Friday. Requires a Blink Sync Module (some models offer local storage or extended range).
  • “Woodgrain” effect on some photos created with PandaN’s wood-grain modifier.  I encourage you to experiment with his excellent modifier model on this or other designs!
