This 3D-printed frame-spacing gauge helps keep hive frames properly spaced and organized, making inspections and hive management smoother.

For a standard Langstroth-style system using self-spacing Hoffman frames, a useful design target is approximately 35 mm center-to-center. Standard bee-space between adjacent components is generally around 6–9 mm.

Core settings

  •  Layer height: 0.12–0.16 mm (0.4 mm nozzle). Finer layers give more accurate edges on gauge steps and curves. 

  • Walls/perimeters: 4 (≈1.6 mm). Gauges are mostly measured at their surfaces, so strong walls beat dense infill. 

  • Infill: 25–40% gyroid or grid — enough stiffness so it doesn't flex when you use it. 

  • Speed: slow — 40–50 mm/s outer walls (or ~30 mm/s on the outer wall if your printer allows per-wall speeds). PETG gets sloppy and stringy at high speed. 

  • Temperature: 235–245 °C nozzle, 75–80 °C bed. Print a temp tower first if you haven't dialed in your PETG. 

  • Cooling: 30–50% fan. Full fan weakens PETG; too little rounds off sharp features 

For thinkers. For makers.
