SWEDISH BIRD HOUSE

This is a bird house designed to look like a traditional Swedish cottage with a small front porch. You can decide if you want to print the house shell as one piece: - gehaeuse_v2

or you can print the house shell in 3 parts: - Floor: boden_v2 - Sidewall 1: fasssade_01 - Sidewall 2: fasssade_02_v2

There are also two mounting plates for the house available: - montageleiste | for screw mounting (M6 or similar) - montageleiste_2 | for zip tie, wire or string mounting

What you need: - Patience ( My printing time was ~100h) - Super Glue - A drinking straw (5mm Outer Diameter) for the roof gutter - A M6 Screw and nut or something similar to mount the birdhouse to the mounting braket - 4 M5 Nuts and 4 Screws for the detachable roof - I have also used black nail polish and painted the surface for the window and door opening black before i glued the parts to the house. Additional notes:

The standard birdhouse hole size is 30mm (einflugring_gewinde) and 45mm (einflugring). Please have a look here for different birdhouse hole sizes if you want to attract a specific bird.: https://www.thespruce.com/bird-house-hole-sizes-386641 http://www.vogelhaus-nistkasten.de/nistkaesten/einflugloch-nistkasten/ (For birds that are typical for germany) Please make sure to add support, when you are printing the roof. The roof is the only part of the assembly that needs a little bit of support at the bottom of the print. If you have a woodpecker close by the chances are high, that he will like the sound of the birdhouse and will tear big holes in the walls. It happened to me already twice. I really don't have a solution for that. I printed the 3rd house now with almost 100% infill for the walls. I hope this will help. You can change the hole size for a specific bird type e.g. with the Microsoft 3D Builder. And if you like you can also add them as a remix. UPDATE 1: There is a new assembly for the birdhouse hole: - SCREW: einflugring_gewinde and - NUT: einflugring_mutter.

UPDATE 2: - If someone does not want to have the water reservoir on the bird house I have added modified parts - If someone wants to have a specific hole diameter, you can use the new file "einflugring_gewinde_without_hole.stl" and add the hole with your specific diameter e.g. with the free Microsoft 3D Builder Software
