Hummingbird Feeder.

My old feeders had big reservoirs upside down. They leaked and attracted bees, ants, and earwigs. Also the nectar would become alcoholic after 1 day in the Colorado sun.

This rework has a small reservoir that faces up. It will not leak. The ports are guarded so that bees cannot reach the nectar but hummingbirds can.

Add the trap on the hanging cord and fill it with regular water. That keeps the ants and earwigs out.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Prusa

Printer: 

I3 MK3S

Rafts:

No

Supports: 

No

Resolution:

0.3 mm layers

Infill: 

yes

Filament: generic PetG Red!


 

Notes:

 

Print with 4 perimeters or more so the walls of the base are solid. Most parts can be printed without support. Orient the trap with the large side down.

Print the post lying on its side with the small hole vertical.  Use support under the threads.

Add a bit or brass wire (or other similar) to form the hanging hook. This should be small enough to allow the lid to be opened.
