A friend has a bird seed feeder in his garden. The front plate and feeder caps were worn out over time due picking by the birds. I designed some repair pieces to make it usable again. Additionally I provided the front plate in case you want to print it instead of getting it from a transparent material. 

Parts needed for assembly:
  • 1x front_plate (print or make from transparent plate material)
  • 1x printed_washer
  • 1x printed_pin
  • 2x feeder_cap
  • 1x M3 washer
  • 1x M3x14 screw
  • 1x M3 threaded insert
Print instructions:
  • Filament of your choice, I recommend PETG, ASA or ABS for use outside.
  • Layer height of your choice
  • Supports needed for the feeder_cap, rest without supports.
  • You might want to scale up the feeder cap for a snug press fit.
Assembly:
  • Insert the threaded inset into the pin.
  • Install the pin with pin on the outside and the printed washer on the inside.
  • Insert the feeder caps.
  • If you find the feeder caps to loose you can fixate them with some super glue.
  • Alternatively check your shrinkage and scale in the slicer for a snug press fit.

 

I would be happy to see some of your makes posted :)
