This is a very simple to assembly octogonal bird feeder

Beyond the printed part, you need the following material :

1x M10 nut (inox is better) to be included in the basement during printing

1x Screw “Wood to DIN” M10

8x M6 x 20mm Conic head screws

8x Wood bar Diam 10mm x 113mm lenght

8x Plexi glasses 135mm x 75mm x 3mm max thickness

assembly branches in the basement, then put the branches through the lower plate holes.

insert the 8x glasses in the slots between the branches and screw the upper plate on the branches with the M6x20 screws

position the 8 roof panels around the central cylinder and pay attention to insert them between the upper plate spurs, and then screw the blocking ring onto the roof panels to maintain it along with the center cylinder.

Screw the feeder on a wooden stake where you previously screwed the “wood to DIN”.

Fill with food and close the top of the feeder with the last printed part.

insert the wooden bars between the low part of the branches to allow birds to land around the feeder.

I just finished printing the 1st sample in PETG with out major difficulties.

DON'T FORGET TO DISABLE SUPPORTS TO PRINT THE BASE !!!(Else it will be a little bit hard to include the nut !)

Support are needed to print the roof as the cantilevered part will not print correctly without. The print file I share is with the roof panels with 10° of tilt, to allow each tile to be printed flat, which provides with a better look. You can print the roof panels flat and earn some time but keep support for the cantilever !

You need to print 8 of the roofs panels, so you've to print 3 time the plate n°7, and you could suppress one of the pieces for the third print.

Looking forward reading your comments and seeing your personnal prints !
