About Garden
You can print plenty for outdoors too, as long as you pick the right material. This category has designs for the garden and balcony.
The Hex Bird Feeder is a hanging seed feeder for about 400 ml of seed, with a feeding dish with ring perch and a pointed roof that slides up along the cords for refilling. It shares the twisted hexagon of the Hanging Hex Planter, so the two make a set.
Every design is digitally checked for printability and prints without supports. Important outdoors: use PETG or ASA. PLA softens at around 55 to 60 °C and warps in the sun. ASA has the best UV resistance but needs an enclosed printer. Each design lists its dimensions and recommended settings.
Frequently asked questions
Which filament should I use outdoors?
PETG for a season or a sheltered spot, ASA for long-term full sun. PLA warps in the sun and becomes brittle over time.
How long does a 3D print last outdoors?
That depends on the material, the colour and how much sun it gets. A spot out of full sun always helps. Check load-bearing parts such as cords and eyes now and then.
Does the bird feeder need supports?
No. All three parts print without supports, the roof tip up.
