The Facts

Listen to the gossip.

Shiny is better.

@unixb0y Almost forgot my most recent project... This is a cup turner I built. So the CAD drawing and the finished project. I had copper color paint. :) I wanted to post it online at some point.

@33MHz That it is! 🤣 It's really simple and light. The bees have been installed for about two weeks.

@33MHz Indeed the temp is going to be interesting. It has insulation and vent options. So far the bees keep it 30 to 35 all day and night. Clearly that changes as the cluster moves. No frames or anything. Honey is collected off the top... at some point.

I would like to drop a webcam in it at some point. It's a real frankenhive!!! I've tried and failed so many times... with so many different hives. ugh. :) …

@unixb0y I will probably be there someday. After I run out of Aqua Net. 🤣 It was on sale! I did PLA at the start.... then PETG... now ABS. I do like ABS so far. I have some Nylon, TPU and T-Glase spools to try... @33MHz @timofjungle @runeranch @vagabond

I have a Bowden so I'm not sure how good the TPU will work... and I don't think I want to mod to direct drive right now. Other fun to be had. :) Those flex beds do look nice. What materials work best? Do you still need anything on it... or just print. …

@unixb0y @33MHz @timofjungle @runeranch @vagabond I would love to try and make an SLA.

@unixb0y @33MHz @timofjungle @runeranch @vagabond I built it myself. I used a BigTree SKR 1.3 with 32 bit controller with Marlin 2.0 and TMC2208....

I did the dual Z version. The bed is like 300x300ish... but 12v!!! I just got my 120v with SSR today. So no more warm-up times for me. Plus I had issues with large ABS at 110. Which is the highest I could get it to do... in my lifetime. LOL For sure... super fun!!!…

@33MHz Agreed. If I can get my own going... I'm going to try and give them to others too. That's just crazy price for bugs. LOL

Here's my crazy hive idea in action. It might crash and burn... but I'm doing it anyway. :)

I did some CAD/3D printing for the ports and gates. There's another port at the top. I'm calling it a BeeYurt. It's got a canvas jacket with insulation inside that. I've been keeping track of the temp... but I need to get an Arduino or something set up to track it long term. I think temperature control is going to be key for me. Having fun... so that's what counts. :) …

@33MHz @unixb0y @timofjungle @runeranch Cool. I just got into 3D printing. I made a HyperCube for my first printer. It's amazing!!!! @vagabond knows all about it. :)

@33MHz Hoping this year is my year. :)

@33MHz Ya... I just got a package this year. I tried swarm catching last year but really no luck. I went crazy this year and make a custom hive... then ordered bees. ORDERED $$$$$$$$$$$$ BEES. LOL

@33MHz @vagabond Howdy! :) Yes... Bees, 3D Printing and Software... sounds like fun to me. :)
