Humming Bird Base Cover and Changeable Flowers

Here is a Humming Bird Feeder Base Cover a neighbor asked me to make for them. The original feeder has an old metal cover, which can be seen in the picture, flowers for the feeding holes, and a thin piece of wire the birds could sit on. They requested a better base than a flimsy wire, but still wanted it petite and simplistic. They loved it and now you can too if you have a need for it.

Specs: The inner most circle diameter is 45mm or 1 and 3/4 inches for ease of reference to see if it will work for other applications as well. The 4 feeding holes have an inner diameter of 7mm or 9/32 inches that allow the flowers to simply sit down into them. Depending on your printers clearance abilities/accuracy I have made two flowers that can be used with the base. One utilizes a reasonable fit of 0.2mm, and the other is a full 1mm. Both can be used with 0-rings/glue/your choice of sealing agent. I do recommend using PETG as the material rather than PLA for the Base and Flowers as it's an outdoor print.

Printing Notes: It does require a fair amount of Support Material, so if your supports aren't dialed in it could be tricky. I used a support gap of 0.2mm and had very good luck using Prusa Slicer.

Additional: I am happy to rework any of my designs to fit your needs, please feel free to leave me a message and I'll get to you as quickly as possible. Thank you for looking at my offerings.
