This is just a concept of a 3D print-able 1/2 size Langstroth bee box. It's meant for real use. You should be able to print this thing with a 30cm x 30cm x 30cm printer without any support structure.
You can cut the typical 415 x 195mm beeswax base into half and sandwich it in between the frame to complete the frame.
・This thing has bee space of 9.5mm - same as standard Langstroth for Apis Mellifera
・The box is vertically stack-able.
・The box with holes have replaceable gate units:
　・ 4.2mm gate (worker-bees-only gate)
　・7mm gate (queen-depart-able gate)
　・ventilation gate (print with no top/bottom solid layer)
　・handle (to lift up)
・Screw the gates with M6 screw. You need a tap handle + screw
・Bees like wood box, so why not use wood PLA
・0.8mm nozzle reccomended
