This is a bird feeder I designed. It still lacks a plexiglas front.

The problem? I forgot to "mirror" the sides :angry: 🙁

I also detected some minor errors that I've fixed for the next run.

Cut settings:

4mm 2 flute wood bit, 2mm step down, 700mm/min, 10mm plywood. No problems at all.

I'm certain that wasn't a mistake - that was just part of the plan! 😉

Solution: Mirror BOTH sides - mill it again - and build an additional Bird feeder .... :woohoo: :pinch: B)

It's not only about tools it's also about skills! 😉

I like it! :woohoo:
What is the thickness of the acrylic glass and the slot size for it?

It's 4.3mm thick or so, definitely not 4mm.

The slot is 5mm.
