We got some of these (probably a bigger size)

100Pcs Fruit Protection Nylon Mesh Net Bags with Drawstring-M | The Warehouse

Worked pretty well in keeping the birds off long enough to get some grapes to eat.

I got some last year. From an OS recommendation, possibly from you.
Should have got a larger size. Found the drawstrings didn't like to stay tied and some fell off.

Yeah, it's super tiny.

It was the wrong size   0.66 inch, so about the size of my thumbnail.

Then I fitted the WIDE-SCREEN one.

0.96" so a little bigger than my thumbnail.

It's playable if you've got OK close up vision (old man).

 

There's a 1.36" (?) on e on AliEx, might work?

Fuck thats cool @ThePog . 
thats the kind of stuff that gets me excited about 3d printing. 
i mean model jet engines are cool . but being able to just make intricate little parts cheaply and mostly labour cost is so cool ( once initial capital is taken acre of )

Yea if you can CAD then a whole world opens up. I pretty much exclusively print stuff I have designed myself. Once you get into the mentality of not having to worry about undercuts or tooling  access then so much useful shit can get done. And now I have a printer that can print proper materials so the sky is the limit..

Well I have been thinking about mounting these boys vertically and day tracking them, but while this would be super cool, I suspect the investment per extra kWh would be best spent on more panels ..

if this was the case everyone would just buy fish from the market..  :blackeye:

 

 im sure you could knock it up pretty cheap. wouldnt be difficult. problem with more panels is still more to be gained with moving with the light...
