Bat House Slot System

Offer native bats a safe, durable shelter with this innovative, self-printable bat house. The design utilizes a sophisticated slot system that requires no adhesive – perfect for easy, clean assembly. Only the two decorative bat accents should be attached with a small amount of glue for the finishing touch.

Details:

• Material: PETG – weather-resistant, robust, and UV-resistant
• Dimensions (fully assembled): approx. 330 mm high, 254 mm wide, 100 mm deep
• Weight (printed): approx. 900 g filament
• Print time: approx. 21 hours (depending on printer and settings)
• Print-friendly: No support structures required
• Textured inner wall: Allows for a firm grip and controlled drainage of condensation
• Slot connections: Precisely designed – prevents drafts in the interior
• Modular design: All main parts can be easily assembled – no tools required
• Decorative accents: Two bat silhouettes for gluing on (optional)
• Mounting module: Integrated module for attachment to walls, trees, or posts – additional mounts coming soon

Hanging & location recommendation:
Mount the house at a minimum height of 3–4 m, preferably in a sheltered, sunny location with a southeast to southwest orientation. Smooth house walls or tall, branch-free tree trunks are ideal. The area should be quiet and free from artificial lighting, so that the animals can enter and exit undisturbed.

Perfect for nature lovers and 3D printing enthusiasts:
This project combines creative making with genuine nature conservation. Support endangered bat species with a functional shelter – to print, assemble, and hang yourself!
