If you have coons you want to feed for while only using a small amount of food, this should help you out. These feeders give you ample time to observe the coons feeding to your delight! I recommend filling with dry cat food. If you want them to find it faster, fill the spout to the brim with food and sprinkle some more food around the feeder. When mounting it position the spout facing downwind during rain. This is minimize any change of rain getting inside the feeder. Drain holes will stop pooling of water if any gets inside.
When printing them use the slicer print order setting of inside then outside, or else the threads will not print right. The file dimension are unaltered from the ideal, but reality is different. To ease the fitting of the cap I suggest scaling the cap 102% to 103% more on X and Y leaving Z to same to give more clearance for the threads. Use a filament type that is heat and UV resistant. I used PETG. Don't use PLA as it will melt in the summer sun!
Happy coon watching
