New birdhouse - The vintage RV (Patreon)

UPDATE 2025-02-19: Mounting supports were missing. They are now added to the files. Also an error was present on the door in the bambu lab file project. The color change was one layer too soon. Now it is corrected. Sorry for that!

Hello again! Second post of the evening!

Honestly, this design has probably been requested more than fifty times! It's a design that I started last summer, and for several reasons it had been put on hold.

The first being the proportions! How to succeed in making a good old Winnebago with the disproportionate proportions that we know it for! Having a minimum height to respect for the birds, I ended up with a birdhouse as long as a baseball bat... Obviously, it was not the way to go... 😂

Make it a "shorty" model? Okay, but we must still recognize at first glance the mythical F17 of Winnebago. It was quite a challenge to have everything in such a short rv. And that's where the design stopped last year; Unable to get the look that I wanted to have.

When I took over the design, by a curious coincidence almost everything fell into place... The shorty look, the right elements, the classic shape as well as the "toon" side that I wanted to give it. He was born! Finally I had managed to fit everything in as I really wanted!

So here it is now in grand premiere tonight! Mission accomplished! I am very happy with the final result I must say!

Concerning the project, it is the same as all the other bird houses!

-All the parts are placed in the right orientation for printing.

-ONLY ONE part requires very simple supports, and that is the rear bumper. Supports on the buildplate only. The surfaces exposed to the supports will not show, so no stress. ;)

-The file names are color coded as well as the quantities required.

-Some parts require color changes (colors are specified in the file name). All can be done on a conventional printer. If you are not familiar with color changes, let me know and I will help you.

-A Bambu Lab project file is included in the folder.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

-For the Bambu Lab project file, the colors are already set by LAYERS and not painted. You must slice the plate first in order to see the color changes applied in the preview.

-The "W" line is a little difficult to glue in place. I recommend more than ever to do a dry fit check (without glue) in order to see how to position the pieces. But all in all, it is still relatively easy to do.

-You will need the following hardware:

-(4x) m3 x 10mm screws

-(4x) m4 x 12mm screws

I recommend this type of screws, which are great for plastics and which will not strip easily;

As usual, I recommend that you follow the instructions to the letter. I also encourage you to do some "Dry fit checks" (without glue) to see how the pieces join together before starting to glue, especially when you are unsure.

If you have any questions about the project, please let me know!

Have fun my friends and keep printing!!!
