Grade 9 students were tasked with a hand drawing project to design, draw, and dimension multiple views of a birdhouse for a specific bird. Their teacher was inspired by the creativity of some of the designs and recreated "printable" versions in sketchup. The sketchup files aren't functional because they have arcs inside to reduce the need for support while still looking like a house with a hole. The sketchup files are the actual size of the birdhouse but the .stl files have been scaled down 25% or 18%. Ashley's Birdhouse is for a Chickadee and has a birdbath that is filled via the chimney. Bryce's and Winfield's birdhouses are also designed for a Chickadee. Mario's is designed for a wood duck and had to be scaled differently. All birdhouses were printed using ABS. Support materials (if they required support) were removed, then cleaned up, sanded, and acetone was used to give it a smoother surface. Nozzle Temp: 220 Bed Temp: 90 Infill: 10% Shells: 4 Ashley's Birdhouse: External Support Needed Bryce's Birdhouse: No Support Required Mario's Birdhouse: External Support Needed Winfield's Birdhouse: External Support Needed Some 3D print slicing software allows for support value to be altered. The insides of these birdhouses have been setup with arcs along certain walls/ceilings so that they will not require support inside when printed. If you can't alter the support settings, you can still print them but you will have to use tweezers/needle nose pliers to get support out via the bird entrance hole.
