Bat Box for Backyard Mosquito Control

Boost MeI love to develop new projects to create with Bambu, and it's extremely addicting. Consider boosting me so that I can continue to spend more time building out cool ideas to print on our Bambu printers. Thank you!

Give bats a safe home — and your backyard a natural mosquito defense system — with this 3D printable Bat Box, designed for easy printing, quick assembly, and long-term outdoor use. Perfect for makers who want to support local wildlife while showing off their Bambu Lab printer skills. Mine was printed on both a P1S and an H2S from my print farm.
 

This bat house STL file features no-glue assembly — every piece slides together for a snug, weather-resistant fit. The removable lid makes it easy to clean or inspect the interior between seasons, helping keep your bat colony healthy and your habitat reusable year after year. 3MF file is for the bat itself and the front piece.
 

Engineered for strength, airflow, and bat comfort, the design includes ventilation slots, textured roost surfaces, and mounting holes for poles, trees, or walls. It’s optimized for P1S, X1C, and A1 printers, requiring only minimal support.
