Great part to have on hand if you own a 3d printer.

molex male power
Optional replacement with standard JST. Specked as water proof molex as I had a pair on hand from another project and they are water resistant. Way over the top on power handling. Remember to buy matching male crimp connections.
The all new Titmouse V2, a revolution in cloud connected spaceship shaped birdhouse technology
The Titmouse V2 advanced technology allows you to monitor the temperature and humidity levels inside of your baby bird sanctuary from the comfort of your own house.
Style, Sophistication, Spaciness
The Titmouse V2 or TMV2 features sturdy modular 3d printed abs construction fastened with heat-set inserts and clip in place battery mounting technology allowing flexibility to upgrade electronic housings and ease of use for rapid battery swapping. The Kerbal styled parachute top is removable to allow for easy cleaning between roosting seasons.
Warning: place lid on birdhouse when birds present to avoid feline related rapid unscheduled bird disassembly.
The TMV2 is scaled to accommodate tufted titmouse birds or any bird requiring a 4 inch diameter floor, 6 inch entrance height and 1 1/4 inch entrance. Mount at 8.5 foot above ground for optimal Titmouse use.
The TMV2 is designed for simple minimal support abs 3d printing and fits within a 233 mm x 232 mm x 203 mm build platform. The main body prints with the heat shield, perch, porthole, escape and landing rockomax 24-77 engines and hypersonic grid fins separate allowing for selection of individually colored abs for individual components and faster and simpler fabrication with minimal overhangs requiring support.
Warning: engines and fins not rated for use in or out of atmosphere. Use with birds or cats present will void warranty. Stow fins while not in flight.
1 / 12 • Outside detail of temp sensor mount and wire run. Note 3 hex machine screws holding electronics case to main body. Can be swapped out to upgrade to alternative electronics or left out for a boring analogue bird house space ship.
1 / 2 • The bird entrance is the only part requiring support. No supprt needed on under side.
See attached drawings for color painting guide, detailed bill of materials and assembly instructions. The case parts and main body should print with out support on most 3d printers. Smaller printers may need to split the heat shield and main body into multiple parts. Print the parts that attach to the main body and the heat shield with support turned on. Pause the main body print 1/3 of the way through and fill base with sand or other material for better center of gravity and stability. Alternatively use hook and loop tape fasteners to mount heat shield to post. Fins can be glued in place up or down.
Thanks for checking out my project and enjoy. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments section.
Should be 3d printable with no support with the exception of the heat shield.
