Bird-feeder 3d

Here’s my latest 3D printing project: a smart bird feeder with a solar panel, Wi-Fi camera, and motion detection.

Designed from scratch, 3D modeled, printed, and assembled over a few evenings.

Build highlights:

• Cost: ~60 EUR (including filament, solar panel, and off-the-shelf camera)
• Power: ~3 hours of sunlight fully charges it; battery hasn’t dropped below 88% so farCamera:
• Built-in app supports motion notifications, event playback, and low-latency live view — all working smoothly out of the box

It’s a small but satisfying project — the kind that reminds me why I like making things that work.
