A small (~2cm long) bee model, suitable for putting on a keyring. Print the parts separately by colour, and then use superglue to assemble the body and wings. The body is made of rings with a hexagonal pin inside to align the parts, make sure to line up the cutouts for the wings with each other, and the face, when assembling. The eyes and mouth should press-fit into the face (it's a littly fiddly, but it's doable, I beelieve in you).
If you just want a tiny bee model but not as a keyring, there's an alternative middle piece in the parts folder.
I recommend using a low layer height, and a smaller nozzle if you have one, to keep the smooth bits looking good. I only have a 0.4mm nozzle, so mine are printed at 0.08mm layer height on a (well tuned) Ender 3.
Inspired by this design, which is adorable, but requires a multi-material printer, and can create a lot of purge waste. My version requires assembly by hand with superglue, which can be fiddly but is more suitable to if you only want a few bees, or don't have access to multi-material printing.
