About this 3D model

This rather large birdhouse is the 3rd version of the entry/donation from my daughter and me to the 2013 Birdhouse Display and Benefit Auction at The Arboretum in Lexington, KY. My daughter had the idea of making it look like a road sign with pictographs for bird and house -- with the entrance in the house pictograph. We call it "A Sign." And it is a sign in another way too -- it is a sign that 3D printing has come of age, because this birdhouse is 100% 3D-printed. The design is original, first posted as thing 92431 (with the cartoon-like bird shape inspired by thing 47032). This 3rd version has several improvements, the biggest of which being that it should fully work with the customizer. It also now includes a "ladder" (which I tested in thing 116905) to help bird egress, a redesigned floor plate, and (optionally) QR code for the Instructable describing it on it's back.
