My Bird feeder was constantly been hijacked by a bunch of starlings, so I taught it was time to man the battlements with a new 3D cage..

The first attempt was not looking to good, because the upright bars were moving to much the higher it got, so it was back to the drawing board for anther go.
duff one.jpg The upright bars had no support, so moved around during printing..

This is what greeted me this morning after the overnight print, total print time was 18 hours..
Half done cage.jpg still a few hours to go yet..

This is it filled up and ready to go..

Now back in position for the smaller birds to have their fill without the pesky starling stealing all their fun..

The Birdman from Wicklow strikes back. :D
Nice design and very good results, Those circular bridges are tricky to get right without the filament sagging. Nothing can beat PLA for bridges and overhangs.
Your first design was asking too much for a printer with moving bed; more so for the big bed of your CR10.
That's one of the few features that I envy on XYcore printers. Static beds allow tiny tall vertical parts to be printed much more easily.

It looks good. In my yard the squirrels would chew through the plastic to get to the seed though.

Here's another bright idea my misses had..
She wanted something to keep the biscuits fresh in the open pack that was easy to use and reseal afterwards..

P.S. Now I’ve made 3 more other biscuit pack sealers for her..

I’m back to making mad things again..:celebrate

To celebrate Ted’s new house move, I made him his own front signage to highlight his new residents ..

It’s only taken his 3 years to move into the Feckin dog box, before that he always slept under the Pampas grass.. Hence the new sign.. As I said crazy.. :hugsTeds Place.jpg click to enlarge..
