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.
Please tell me you call that squirrel Teddy!
It’s been by every day since I put it out. It’s definitely Teddy.
Is there another that stops by a few episodes in a row, then conspicuously disappears for a while that we can call Mort?
There’s a Jay that seems perpetually frustrated by how much Teddy eats.
That sounds more like a Louise than a Mort.
Great burger of the day name!
Thanks!
The other side of the board is The Squirrel You Know It’s True Burger
Did you or the squirrel decide it’s also a squirrel feeder?
The squirrel, but not in the way you think.
It spent summer 2022 trying to find a way get to a window mounted bird feeder. It tried leaping from a window AC unit, coming down from a plant hanger on the eve, and shimmying across the window ledge with just its from paws. It was like a slapstick version of Mission Impossible. I decided it deserved a meal.
“Bob, if you take your burgers from me, I will murder you and your mouthy wife.”
This is so cool, thx for sharing!
That is absolutely adorable!!
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.
