Perrier Bottle Bird Feeder

thingiverse

This bird feeder is made using a 75cl Perrier bottle and 80cm (31.5") of 550 paracord (or similar, the holes are 5mm diameter). Both 3D printed parts are tapered to provide a good fit to the bottle. Simply thread the cord through the parts and then tie a knot in each end of the cord. 80cm allows easy removal of the bottle by sliding the middle ring over the bottom of the bottle. <br> <br> I've had it in my garden for a while now and the birds love it! It's very sturdy- it can handle a squirrel attack without issue! <br> <br> I printed this in PLA and it's held up fine so far, but I'm not sure how it will hold up long-term because it's in the sun for a few hours everyday. A filament with high UV-resistance such as ASA might be a better choice.
