Description
I liked the design of the suet ball holder by @ivyMike, as his design allows to feed fat to the birds without the commonly used net around the suet ball.
Those nets are dangerous for small birds an. d unnecessary waste. So it is good if you don’t need those nets.
I own a Birdfy camera (Birdfy bamboo) and it is fun, to watch the birds coming by and eating the treats.
I added a very easy holder that clips on the wooden rod where the birds sit. It snaps on and has a little rim, so that it does not come off too easy (squirrels are thieves).
I printed it in PETG for it is for outdoor use (UV light exposed).
20% Infill
no supports needed.
I connected the mount with the bottom half of the ball with a 3mm stainless steel hexbolt and a M3 heat inserted thread. You can just glue them together with superglue if you donˋt have those metal parts.
Please show me your results and send me fotos of your makes. I like to see how you use this model. If you have ideas for improvement don’t hesitate to send them to me in the comments. I will try to incorporate your suggestions and will modify the model for special needs if you ask me to do so.
And of course a like ♥ or a rating ⭐ of the design are always welcome.
happy printing, clamikra
And here it is assembled and loaded with a suet ball
And this is how the Birdfy cam sees the ball (I have to clean the lens soon!)
