This is a gazebo-style bird feeder for small birbs such as finches, sparrows, nuthatches, chickadees, etc.
I liked the classic design of the original, much thanks to the creator, but I wanted a single roof piece, so I created that and then made some other additions while learning Blender. The design is virtually identical to an old wooden one I have but with a bigger openings that shouldn't get jammed up like they constantly do with the wooden one.
It has 1.2 mm wide tracks in the arches to slide in 1.1 mm acrylic sheets, or printed panels. I've included a panel that is 1.0 mm thick, which is purposely thinner than the track width to allow for 3D printing inaccuracies. You can print a grid panel by setting the top/bottom thickness to zero and the infill pattern to grid in your slicer. You can of course use any other infill pattern, such as the cross pattern shown in the photos.
####Printing
I printed mine in PETG, but PLA would probably be fine too. The PETG should be better able t
