Description

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.

Hope the bees like it!

Cheers!

Luke

Will break easy if dropped when printed in PLA, but fantastic model.

Lovely print and works well, printed in blue PETG. Bees can see Ultraviolet colours the best.

Thank you

@Janko

Mine is dripping at several places on its bottom plate. I'm new to 3D printing. is there anything obvious that i might have missed when clicking "print" without thinking?

Strength Issue:Not sure if this was the fault of the design or the profile, (think it's the former since it's pretty thin,) but the bottle attachment snapped off the first time I tried to use it. Wasn't a big deal to fix with super glue though, and the bottle screws on really smoothly.
