Egghouse by redbot

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

A 3-piece egg shaped birdhouse with built in rain catcher (1 degree tilt) filling two water bowls, a canopy, inner to outer extending perch, with m4 holes for an interior roosting perch, a drainage hole, and hanging loop. Diameter excluding the rain catcher is 150mm. The door hole is 40mm in diameter.
Requires:
4x m3 10mm screws (1 for the perch, 3 for the top and bottom halves)
a stick, skewer or rod that's 4mm or less in diameter (for the roosting perch)
you could edit the SCAD file to make the holes larger
(I have not test printed any of these parts.... I did not account for all that weight in the front while designing, I will figure something out for that, but for now, perhaps a counter weight would do the trick)
Which came first: the birdhouse or the egghouse?
Update: I've finally printed one out, the walls are a tad too thin, the birdbaths may leak, but some glue or filler would take care of it.
Printed: 3mm layers, 20% infill, no support, no raft
