Hex Bird Feeder

The Hex Bird Feeder is a hanging seed feeder you print yourself, in the same twisted hexagon as the Hanging Hex Planter. It has three parts: a feeding dish with a ring perch, a silo for about 400 ml of seed and a pointed roof.

The silo locks onto the dish with a quarter twist. The roof hangs on the same cords as the dish and slides up along them, so you can refill without taking the feeder down.

• Feeding dish: 129 mm diameter, 39 mm tall, with ring perch
• Silo: 82 mm diameter, 120 mm tall, approx. 414 ml
• Roof: 140 mm diameter, 77.6 mm tall
• Total height 169 mm, feeding openings 20 × 29.3 mm
• Three parts, no supports, digitally checked for printability

Print tips: for outdoor use, print in PETG or ASA, as PLA warps in the sun. 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 20% infill. Print the dish and silo upright and the roof tip up, as oriented in the files.

Hanging: place the silo on the dish with the openings between the lugs and turn it 25 degrees clockwise until it locks. Thread three cords up to 5 mm through the eyes and the roof slots and tie them together above the roof. Hang the feeder out of full sun and clean the dish regularly.

You get three STL files and one 3MF.
