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.

Props to you for feeding it. People who call them pests clearly haven't tried to bond with any. Amazingly intelligent critters, I feel like they're sorta like pigeons- they absolutely have a sentience and personalities. I used to feed one almonds all the time and it would even come right up to me and take 'em from my hand. Pretty sure that stopped them going for my tomatoes lol. They'll eat garden snails too FYI
