Hopefully this doesn’t violate the no ads rule, as it is my model. But I’m pretty proud of it and wanted to share.

I designed a backyard feeder to look like the restaurant from Bob’s Burgers complete with a Burger of the Day special. It’s fully 3d printed (other than glue) and designed to be tough (it wasn’t until I uploaded the gcode that I realized it’s 1.2 kg worth of filament). So far the squirrels and jays are loving it.

    This is really cool! Did you do anything to make it food-safe?

      I didn’t. I planned to seal it (to at least mitigate micro-crazing / bacteria traps) but it turns out my spray sealant is potentially toxic. For dry seeds I’m mainly worried about mold, which is at least prone to making itself known. If I end up with mold (or rancid seeds) I’ll print a new seed tray and seal it with resin or similar.
