the Creality cr-10 MAX is 450x450mm the WHOLE build surface is heated, it shares parts with the much more common CR-10, so parts are widely available. ive found one for $895CAD. it also prints all sorts of filaments. the cr-10 S5 did have the build plate issues you mention
Cool idea! I've 3D printed full size hive bodies. Just gotta print 4 different sections then join them together. 800g + per panel though lol. Thanks for sharing the video
The nuc worked really well. I currently have 4 3d-printed hives. Once I see how well they survive the winter I'll be posting a lot more videos (if they indeed survive the winter -- if not... back to the drawing board)
I'm a beekeeper wanted to know how the bees are doing. I'm highly interested in this. I'm looking at buying this printer just for hive printing. Please let me know thanks.
the bees are doing well... i had four hives heading into winter. looks like 3 of them have made it through to early spring... haven't looked at the failed hive yet so i don't have much of an idea as to why it failed. At the moment I think the only practical choice for a printer is the anycubic chiron. you should be aware that it takes and INCREDIBLY long time to print a hive. The smaller boxes take about 3 days to print and to that you have to print the frames. My frames (which are smaller than langstroth standards) take a full day for each complete frame (frame and foundations) (and each box takes 8 frames so that's eight days for the frames. I also make just frames where I slip in some custom cut commercially available foundation and that takes about a day to print the parts needed to assemble 8 frames. I'm about to put out a video where I'm starting off some new hives from scratch so you may want to follow along with that.

yeah, takes a lot of filament and LOTS and LOTS of time! :)
I use OpenSCAD
Do you happen to have an STL for those pieces of frames by any chance? Looking to try 3d printing hives as well
Love it!
How did the nucleus setup go? My son is really interested in bee keeping. This might be a fun father/son project.

Was wondering when someone was going to try hive stuff. I have printed j hook hive tools and beetle traps. What do you use to design ?
I use openSCAD
can you print and share file how to print anc buld PANEL FOR COLLECTING BEE VENOM
I Wonder if there is some money to save by doping this equipmentmyself in 3d?
Thanks for the files. I am going to try and print this at 80% on a CR-10S Pro
Why are none of his sites working.
Have you had a look at modifying the system to a flow hive type of set up?
Yes. I have a flow hive set up. It takes 8 modified flow hive frames.
@@PrintableScience excellent . Would love to see updated video of it when possible.

You need a Voron 350mm with a 0.8mm nozzle and high flow hotend and extruder. 15000mm/s acceleration.
Do you sell the files for these I would love to be able to print my own hive.
The hive is currently under redesign and I'll be releasing files when that process is complete. Stay tuned! :)
Hi ...Filament for the bee hive is Pet G or Hips??
I use both. Having bed adhesion issues with the HIPS but i'm working on it and think i'm making progress.
Did the Bees survive the winter?
YES! indeed they did. I went into winter with 8 3d printed hives, and all 8 survived.
@@PrintableScience u on facebook and do i get software to make
take a long time to print?
what's the cost for priting out just the frames?
You can get about 20 of my frames out of a roll of filament, or about 6 fully printed frames and foundation.
Do you have the stls for the warre hive?
what happened to this guy?
He's still kicking and 3d printing beehives and assorted miscellaneous beekeeping related equipment. :)
@@PrintableScience well that's a relief
