Birdbath for Cage Birds

thingiverse

Formerly I used as bath for my birds a cap of a butter dish. But this part crumbled more and more over the time. Because my birds are very sensitive for changes in their environment I tried to make the new bath similar to the old one. But I made some improvements. So the bottom is flat now, the volume a little bit higher and the upper edges are wider and rounded for better sitting. Size: 145 x 104 x 42 mm³ Printed with PLA crystal clear, extruder 210°C, bed 60°C It is not easy to get the bottom waterproof. I got it with the following tricks: I used two different print parameter settings. The first three bottom layers were printed with rectilinear external fill, the next three layers with circular external fill. For the first and forth layer the nozzle fan was disabled for better connection. Additionally I increased the extrusion factor from 0.9 to 1.1. So the lines and layers are better fused and become waterproof.

Thingiverse itself also declines to give the members support to enforce the rules of the CC and recommends only to continue the ridiculous and useless dialog with the vero-team and the parasitive sellers or to contract a own lawyer to stop this sellers. In fact the CC is not worth the click to select the right type for the shared models. So I'm forced to remove all my models here. I'm not willing to waste my spare time for the profit of these antisocial parasites. If you are interested to get the models files contact me please. If you are an active member here and shared own models here I would be very glad to send you the files. Regards SnowHead
