I designed this feeder to use a small ramekin sold at Walmart here. If you don't want to use one of those ramekins I did include 2 bowl models: 

  1. “Jelly Bowl” is a solid bottomed bowl. You will probably need to coat the inside with something to make it water tight. I have not used this one myself.
  2. “Seed Bowl” contains drainage holes in the bottom, making it good for any type of bird seed

The base of the feeder has drainage holes so that you can add seed, mealworms, or whatever else you want.

The roof has a loop incorporated so that it can be hung up.

Printing: The model was designed to be printed on a Bambu A1 Mini, so I have broken it into 3 main parts: base, vertical wall, and roof. Additionally there is a spike model (used to hold oranges), and 2 food bowl models. The base and wall do not need supports. I printed the roof piece on edge and used tree supports. For strength, I printed the spikes horizontally but that meant I needed supports for it as well. All of which should clean up easily.

I printed this in PETG, .20 layer height, and 15% gyroid infill. The pieces all fit together with a friction fit, however I used JB Weld PlasticWeld just to be safe.
