Countryside Birdhouse! (Patreon)

Hello my fantastic friends!

Second birdhouse design of the year!

This time, I opted for a classic, charming, and inviting design. Inspired by the countryside, this birdhouse has a distinctly rural and warm feel.

Its construction is a little different from other birdhouses. Since the roof, posts, and railings are all one piece, I chose an opening at the back for seasonal cleaning instead of the usual one at the bottom. This is to prevent any warping of the base over time that could affect the entire design. Having a single-piece base increases its volume and, consequently, its rigidity.

Otherwise, it follows the standards of other birdhouses.

All parts print without supports.

All parts are positioned in the correct orientation for printing.

Hardware needed: (4x) m3 x 10mm self tapping screws and (4x) m4 x 10mm self tapping screws.

File names are coded by colors, quantity, and specific settings where applicable.

Some parts require color changes at the correct layers. You don't need an AMS to print them; simply make the color changes at the correct layers, which any 3D printer can do without any problem. If you're not familiar with the procedure, just let me know or check out my community's Facebook page for help:

A few parts require a brim, such as the posts and the trim around the bottom of the house.

Speaking of the posts, I'd like to point out that, since they're printed vertically, they're a bit fragile until they're glued to the assembly. Once in place, it's not really an issue, but as individual parts, I advise you to handle them gently to avoid breaking them.

Assembly is relatively simple and quick, however, I strongly encourage you to follow the instructions carefully to avoid critical errors.

Feel free to review the instructions a little in advance and do some dry fit checks (without glue) to see how the pieces fit together.

Finally, a complete Bambu Lab file is included as usual with my preferred settings and color changes already applied.

Remember that my color changes are by layers, not painted. Therefore, you must slice the plate first to see the applicable color changes in the preview window.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know!

I hope you love it as much as I do and have lots of fun building it!

Have fun, friends!
