If I was a bird, I would never move out of this bird house.

I agree with @ekla - you need to submit this to the catalog! Maybe after you make the larger base. And the cats watching is great!

Another amazing design from you! I’m assuming this is going to show up in your Etsy shop at some point.

That’s the best version of “kitty tv” I have seen yet. Really nice design, thoughtful engineering.

Curious to know how you designed this to allow for angled siding. The complications involved with assembling any angle other than 90 degrees are one of my only peeves with laser cutting vs other methods.

Not speaking for @visuplayer, but a 3D design program helps tremendously when moving past the basics. Fusion 360 is one free option (with conditions), and there are others.

I use multiple 3D programs to great effect. The inability to cut on a ramp is a limitation of the laser, not my capacity to design projects with angles. I may have overlooked something extremely simple though, & would love to know more about other people’s methods.

Isn’t it really for you, to watch the cats, watching the birds?

Your base should have a few tiny drain holes for water to escape even if it’s on the edges.

The 3D programs help with sizing your slots/tabs correctly to accommodate angled pieces, but yeah, lasers won’t cut on an angle.
@cynd11 did some experimenting with angling the material to achieve mitered corners that came out nicely, but there are definitely size limitations.
