HOW TO CREATE a 3D BIRD FEEDER IN 3D MODELLING SOFTWARE

The use of 3D design is becoming more widespread. Making 3D models with 3D design allows for their 3D printing as well as their use in marketing and other fields. We'll use SelfCAD to make a 3D bird feeder in this tutorial article. SelfCAD is one of the most user-friendly yet effective 3D modelling programmes for users of all ages, assuming you are unaware of it beforehand. We chose SelfCAD because it offers all of the essential components needed for 3D modelling and 3D printing activities.

We will start with a cube to create the bird feeder in 3D, then modify it with tools like fillet, Add Thickness, scale, move, and so on.

So, let’s begin with the design!

First of all, from the 3D shape category insert a cube. Set height to 170. Then from the modify category, select the fillet tool. Set intensity to 10 and level to 2.

Next, copy the selected object by clicking on the copy button. Then select the rotate tool and set x to -90.

Now, we will scale the object to 64 to x-axis, y to 45 by using the scale tool. Then select both the objects, go to stitch and scoop and select the difference option. Set mesh_4(1) to subtract.

Next, opt for face selection and select the highlighted region as shown in the image. Then delete it.

Now, go to the modify category and select the add thickness tool. Set thickness to 3. Then insert a cylinder and set its top radius to 10, bottom radius to 10, height to 170, rotation y to 90 and rotation z to 90.

Next, we will insert a torus and set its ring radius to 10, tube radius to 3, position y to 167, rotation y to 90, and rotation z to 90. Then select all the objects, go to stitch and scoop and make them a union.

Using SelfCAD, we created a straightforward 3D bird feeder. The same method may be used to easily create a variety of 3D models. After finishing your 3D modelling, you can use SelfCAD's built-in slicer to produce the G-Code you'll need to send to your 3D printer for printing.
