Cubic Parrot Foraging Toy

thingiverse

UPDATE: Made some redesigns so that you can print everything vertically without supports. But the one thing file which is a Double Hole, and a parrot emblem extruded, *MIGHT* need a low density support, I haven't tried that yet. This is my FIRST make EVER! So by all means feel free to play around with it and remix it if you come up with better ideas. This is a simple bird toy I made up for my Amazon parrot. It is a six-sided cube held together by criss-crossing bolts and nuts. You could put foraging paper or snacks to encourage the bird to unscrew the bolts. The designs I made are duplicated so they always go across from each other. I used PLA for all but for the bolts I cranked it up to 75% in-fill. I printed all 5 threaded rods and nuts on a raft standing vertically at once and then I printed all four thing files at once. Each wall is printed once except for the one that says print twice. You'll need 5 bolts, 4 nuts and 6 wing nuts. Optionally you can just print all nuts. All the verticals should be able to print at once and then the rods and nuts in another job, all at once.
