🦈 Jaws of the Backyard: The Shark Attack Squirrel Feeder!
Turn your backyard or patio into a hilarious scene from a monster movie! The Shark Attack Squirrel Feeder creates a perfect comedic illusion: when a squirrel reaches in to grab a snack, it looks exactly like a shark is swallowing it head-first.
This model is designed to sit perfectly on a tabletop, deck, or railing, giving you front-row seats to the funniest wildlife photo ops in the neighborhood.
Designed with Squirrel Safety First
Animal safety is a top priority! While the shark looks fierce, the front bottom teeth have been entirely removed and smoothed out. This ensures that squirrels can comfortably stick their heads in and out to fetch corn, peanuts, or seeds without any sharp edges scratching or catching on their necks.
Two Print Profiles Included
Whether you have a multi-color setup or a standard single-extruder printer, I’ve got you covered:
- AMS / Multi-Color Profile: Ready to print out-of-the-box in two colors (Blue body + Black eyes) for a seamless, one-shot print.
- No-AMS / Single Color Profile: Don't have an AMS? No problem! This profile prints the shark head in one piece and the eyes entirely separate. Just print the eyes in black (or paint them) and pop/glue them into the sockets afterward.
- One Color: Go ahead and color your eyes yourself to save on time
Tips for Best Results
- Filament Suggestion: Since this sits outdoors, PLA+, PETG, or ASA is highly recommended to withstand sun and weather, though PLA+ works great if placed in a shaded/covered area like a porch.
- Placement: Place it on a flat surface like a patio table or deck railing where squirrels already love to hang out. Fill the mouth up with whole corn, sunflower seeds, or peanuts!
