New drop: Lotus Pagoda Thistle Feeder. East Asian roof, Greco-Indian column body, all support-free on FDM. Lotus-flared foot, 16 vertical flutes, three decorative bead moldings, three-tier pagoda, collared spire finial. Snap-fit, no glue. Twelve 2.6 mm nyjer slits + floor drainage means real finches will actually use it, not just admire it. Print in PETG or ASA for weather resistance. Every face audited under 45° from vertical. Show me yours when you print one — love seeing color combos!

Built a ground-level dome shelter for Pacific Treefrogs and Western Toads here in the PNW. Open bottom sits on bare soil for moisture contact, arch entrance sized for adult treefrogs, rear vent slots for airflow. No supports needed — prints in about 4 hours in PETG. Tuck it in a shaded garden bed near water and partially bury the lip. It won't replace a good log pile, but it adds cover in yards where natural debris gets cleaned up. Would love to hear if anyone gets occupants!

Just published a Western Screech-Owl nest box built to Cornell/NestWatch specs. Two-piece design — monolithic body + friction-fit roof — designed for large-format printers like the Bambu H2C. 3" entry hole excludes starlings, interior climbing grooves help owlets fledge, and the roof lifts off for tool-free annual cleanout. PETG recommended for outdoor durability. Screech-owls are declining in the PNW due to cavity loss.

Built a saucer-style hummingbird feeder where every surface pattern is driven by the Fibonacci golden angle (137.508°) — the same math behind sunflower seed spirals. Bowl walls have a cylindrical phyllotaxis dot field, cover top has a 2D sunflower spiral, and the 5 feeding ports sit inside raised flower bosses with petal dimples. Prints in two pieces, no supports needed. Split STLs included for multi-color — red flower bosses on a neutral base. PETG recommended for outdoor durability.

Fresh off the printer and freshly uploaded! 🏯 A Japanese pagoda lantern bird feeder — two snap-fit pieces, both print supportless. Hexagonal hopper with six gothic-arched dispensing windows, six corner perches, an auto-dispensing cone inside, and a hanging hole through the finial spike. ~27 cm tall assembled. PLA for sheltered spots, PETG/ASA for year-round outdoor use. Pics from the test print attached. If you make one, drop a photo and tell me what shows up! 🐦

New drop: a hanging bird feeder with a printed snap-fit cap — no glue, no screws, no supports. Both parts print flat on a 200×200 bed. PETG or ASA for outdoor life. The asymmetric snap holds firm but pops off easy when you refill. Already pulling chickadees and finches at my place. Would love to see your prints and what species show up at yours — drop a make or remix!

Just uploaded a mason bee hotel designed around actual research — not decoration. 81 holes at the correct 8mm diameter and 152mm depth that Osmia lignaria needs to produce female-biased broods. Smooth walls, solid back panel, landing perch, and a roof overhang to keep the tubes dry. Most store-bought hotels fail on at least one of these. Print in PETG/ASA and mount facing SE. Go get some pollinators! 🐝

Just posted my Tree Swallow nest box! Designed to Cornell Lab/NestWatch spec — 4×4×6" interior, 1.5" entry hole, chamfered predator guard, interior ladder ridges for fledglings, drainage, ventilation, and a 6-hole mounting flange. Roof snaps on and off tool-free (rear slot + locating pegs) for easy annual cleanout. PETG or ASA, zero supports on both parts. Hoping to have occupants this spring! 🐦

🐦 Junco Open-Front Nest Platform — Because Birdhouses Aren't Always the Answer Most people don't realize that some of the most common backyard birds want nothing to do with a traditional birdhouse. Dark-eyed Juncos are one of them. They're ground nesters — they tuck their cup nests under logs, along banks, and into the base of dense shrubs. A standard enclosed box might as well be a rock to them. So I designed this open-front nest platform specifically around how juncos actually nest.

It's March and time for chickadees to roost in your backyard!
