Simple 3D printed bulb holder to head a hummingbird feeder.

I used this lamp socket and cord from Lowes because that's what I could get my hands on same-day Project Source 60-Watt Plastic Turn Knob Lamp Socket, Clear in the Light Sockets department at Lowes.com

This cord from Amazon should work as well (and without a switch in the middle that can take in water…) 7110K Black Single Light Replacement Clip in Lamp Cord for Christmas Village House 

Printed this on a Prusa XL on the stock 0.32mm Speed setting in PLA (might benefit from PETG since there's a lightbulb inside, but given this gets used to keep feeders from freezing I don't think this will get hot enough to cause issues, at least for single season use)

This can be printed large opening on bed without supports, but to print the overhang that engages the clip on the light you'll want a smaller layer height, I used “Height range Modifier” so the top 4.5mm of the print had a 0.15mm layer height.

I used elastic hair ties to attach this to the feeder.
