The file 'Beehive Stand With Leveller And Water Reservoir/Ant Guard 3D Printer Model' is (stl,gcode) file type, size is 878.5KB.
4 Beehive levelers are needed per Beehive (5 if using a liquid other than water)
3 printed components are required for each Bee Hive Leveler.
-Nut Turner Guide, which prevents the nut turner from slipping under the hive
-Nut Turner which turns a nut that moves up or down a bolt which in turn moves that corner of the hive
-Foot, secures a bolt which runs through the hive leveler and supports the weight of the hive.
The Pan is the 4th and optional component, which can be replaced by a similar container.
-Pan/Reservoir can serve as a water source for the bees and prevents the entry of ants(use veg oil instead of water)
-Pan cover is recommended if oil is used
Additional required components include a 1/4" diameter, 2" length bolt and nut, and 3 coarse thread self tap-in screws(I used 0.3" head, 1" long coarse thread).
ps. longer bolts can be used if a taller stand is required.

-added pan_cover
-added combined foot and pan v2 for 1/4" bolt model (to use with pan_cover)
edit- 12.06.2018
-added combined foot and pan for both M6 and 1/4" bolt models (pan height reduced and diameter increased, foot height increased)
-added revised nut_turner for both M6 and 1/4" models
edit- 08.04.2018
-added foot and nut_turner stl for M6 bolt and nut
NB. I noticed some slight movement of the bolt inside the foot after installation(maybe rocking caused by moving hives during inspection and even wind). You should consider increasing infill % when printing Hive_Foot and newly introduced Hive_Foot_with_Pan_combined.
Thank you for your show of support and appreciation of this Thing.
