Hi guys,

I saw many users had problem printing the Awesome Bee Feeder by NicG so I thought why can't it be printed all in one go? So I adjusted the model like this:

  • single model
  • no supports required everything just bridges nicely and is 3D printing optimized.
  • thinned bottom from 3 mm to 1 mm to not waste filament 
  • closed small hexagons near edge
  • thinner edge
  • thicker outside of thread

Regarding the substance, it should be 1 to 1 water and regular sugar mixture. Print it in striking color so it can attract bees more easily.

Use PETG or ASA as PLA will start to melt in the sun.

As always, multiple formats available including .3mf, .stl, .step and .obj.

Hope the bees like it!
