Tube bird feeder with perches
A tube feeder dispenses seed slowly through small ports and keeps most of it dry. This design is a 70 mm diameter tube 250 mm tall with 2 mm walls, four 12 mm feeding ports with 80 mm perches below each, a domed rain cap that twists off and a sloped base that funnels seed toward the ports. A 4 mm hole in the cap takes a wire hanger. Print the tube vertically in ASA or PETG for weather resistance, and the cap dome-up. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer?

Fit notes
SpeakCAD builds the feeder to your preferred seed type by adjusting port size, and matches the height to where it will hang. Ask for a squirrel baffle or a wider tray in the same conversation.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
