Bee with drill stinger

thingiverse

Here is a picture of a bee I designed for a buddy who has a cool spiral drill for the stinger, showcasing intricate details with minimal supports for easy assembly. The file can be printed without support, allowing for effortless reassembly. However, associated pegs may require adjustments to fit perfectly, possibly involving sanding or clipping due to imperfections in my tolerance. My first attempt at painting, I humbly present, so please don't take potshots ;). The stinger and head stay relatively secure with the pegs, yet additional fusion bonding epoxy has proven to be a useful supplement for stability. I also used epoxy to attach the wings firmly to the back of the bee after finding they printed slightly loose than expected, necessitating reinforcement.
