[Archived] Bee Flexi
🕑 Added 2024-03-15 16:52:16 +0000 UTCHiii!! its Friday!! Yaay!!
We've got beeees! This release contains:
🐝 Bee Flexi
🐝 Bee flexi Keychain
🐝 Bee flexi Magnet
🐝 Prepainted 3MF files for all 3 versions
++++++++++++++++
The bees have been tested down to 60% this includes the normal flexi version, and the keychain version. At this scale they make really fun earrings! All the pictures above are of 100%, and 60% scale bees. I recommend printing the 60% bees at 0.16 or 0.12 layer height as that will increase surface quality. The magnet version cannot be scaled down.
I have added guides for editing the 3MF files, as well as a magnet guide.
No supports are needed for any of the versions! and as always I recommend at minimum 3 walls to ensure durability.
Please note that as fun as the little bees are when scaled down to 60% they can pose a serious choking hazard due to their size, and children under 3 should not handle these without careful supervision!
I used fish hook style for my earrings! These worked well and were quick to make up!
I beelieve that's all! Have a wonderful weekend!

There are several food keychains that could be a good as earrings! they are all in the sculpts folder of the exclusives 🥰

Besides this bee model, are there any other of your keychain models that might make good candidates for earrings? I'm obsessed with the idea of more earring models
Christine
Hiii!! are you using the 3MF version? the modifiers are usually the last objects on the object list, for the bee there should be 4 of them
Christine
Hiii!! sorry for the super delayed response! The block is called a prime tower and it helps to stabilize the nozzle after color changes 🥰

I am trying to print the bee, and there is no 'eye shine modifier' that I can see, when I change it to Objects.
Sam Meyer
Just curious b/c I'm new to 3MF files but it imports with a cube in the corner with the 3 colors in the bee and i can't delete it. Is that normal or a setting I'm just having issues with?
Christine
ah yeah sorry sounds like your magnets might be duds, This is Canadian amazon link but this is the brand i buy and they work great! https://www.amazon.ca/Magnets-Refrigerator-Cylinder-Whiteboard-Miniature/dp/B09CNJ4GN8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_pp?crid=QUBNG53TFDCR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rgo_4O3X-YOraLDX9KPDxvzpZQv59SLryYM0Oe4_lsB6ppzd4UTaOmA1hHi4_WY5RDyK8JI67RevFa2-4pzOOGrS8Zuw8lxLnRD-9kKikyKpGqFcDEHXIh-bBf17QV8XnXnyEhZZAFE5_WAkVORnGKbVu65zC_atebtzxkn5vfusmA-Of7wlplDjKP4cwC7yadeQqlpGTiz1DsLmkP0-IQ.7-ZiJ_3PKywX4LtDMIkxS0bNwi4w5tgsnFQgZqTHORs&dib_tag=se&keywords=magnet&qid=1711848574&sprefix=magnet%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-3

I tried it on a couple of other things around the house, including the steal racking that my printers are on and the bee just slides right down it. What are the magnets that you use for yours? (if you dont mind me asking)
Christine
Oh i see! Yeah not every magnet is going to be made the same, also maybe depands on what your fridge is made of, can you get it to stick to anything?
MCFIA.CRAFT3D
ok, so at layer 20, i paused the print, popped the magnet in (perfect fit) and then unpaused. printed perfect. But when i put it on the fridge, the bee just slides down.
Christine
Hiii!! i’m not sure what you mean by it slides down?
MCFIA.CRAFT3D
Is anyone else having issues with the magnet not large enough to hold the 100% ? Its just slides down. The magnet i used for them is the perfect fit...
CiJi Hurley
When I slice this file the wings are yellow at the bottom and white where I colored them. I am so confused how to get the wings to just be white.
Christine
Yay!! I used Yousu black glitter PLA!
Sam Meyer
what sparkly black did you use?? SUCH cute design, excited to print them!! :)
Mythical Mirage Creations
Need a queen bee with a little crown on her head!
Christine
This one is Econofil PLA from Filaments.ca! polymaker has some lovely pastel yellows as well!
Alyssa Rowe
what yellow filament do you use? im having a hard time finding one i like!
Christine
I printed the earrings at 60% scale 😊
Andrew Martin
When you printed the Earrings what site did you scale them too? We where thinking 50 or 60.

Being a bee keeper myself those would come in handy when people buy my honey.
Christy Carey
I love this! I'm a beekeeper, so 3d printing and beekeeping are two of my favorite things....other than yarn!
Christine
