It's time to introduce the winner of last month's member poll... the Honey Bee! Since the Cyber bee came out, a more "realistic" version has been requested a ton. I hope this cutie does not disappoint 😁I made an adjustment to the wing mechanism to prevent spinning. Just line up the notch and push in straight. Once it's fully popped in, you can rotate the wings to their appropriate bee-like position. For those that have been with me for some time, you may recall my original bee was a nod to my buddy Dave, a programmer AND Beekeeper in Las Vegas. If your curious, you can read more about him here: Vegas Bees

Happy Printing -Dan*Please consider tagging @flexifactory/ #flexifactory in your social posts so I can see your amazing prints! AND make sure to share in the private Flexi Factory discord :) To join discord, go to your pinned post and click the Discord Link! HEREPrint Tips:

I test printed between 60% and 150%. The smaller you go, great adhesion is necessary for the small feet. Some detail could be lost. Use high quality materials and settings.

STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project. Check your temp settings, especially with silks.

1st photo is 100 3MF: Overture Yellow, Cookiecad Blue Chip, Anycubic Black and Sunlu White

2nd Photo has two 100% 3MF: Same as above plus, Sunlu orange, Overture White Rock and Elegoo Sky Blue

3rd photo is 150% STL and 90% STL: iSanmate Rainbow and Yellow Green

4th photo is 150% STL: Giantarm Silk Gold

This is beautiful. Ive been a subscriber for years and I'm trying to remember if you have ever released a video of your wife showing how she paints your models? Specifically, the ones using the stain gel. I'm going back and printing all of the skeleton models and really want to copy her style using wood stain.

Kaye

Would love to see more dinos

Just joined so I can sell Cyber Bee and happy to find this model, too! One note: honey bees have 4 wings (flies have 2 wings). I don't think 4 separate wings would be practical on either model but please consider changing the wing files to suggest forewing and hind wing. In fact, honey bees link their forewings and hind wings for flight. The hind wing is smaller and could just be like a lobe off the forewing. (nerdy beekeeper stuff)

Danny

What about Magnets? :-)

Dan

Thank you for the suggest. I do take some cartoony creative license for some things, and this is one example. the way they connect, and for strength and flexibility. But I appreciate your suggestions!

Tiffany King

I couldn't find a suggestion post, but I am wondering is there any hope of a skeleton that stands up like the monkey?

Dan

I am always thinking on it. So far, a little clunky and chunky haha.

Tracy

Thank you!! ❀️ the bee!!!
