Busy Bee

Multi colour on Anet A8 with only one hotend and extruder! This was one of my first designs. I made them for a friend that sells Honey. She wears the earrings and hangs bees around her maket stall. Can be printed small and wear as earrings or scale up and print bigger as a pendant, keyring or decoration. This object was designed, with different layer heights, so that the colour could be changed at the different layers. I do not have a printer that can print multi colours so I used the paused at height function in Ultimaker Cura and changed the filament while the printer was in pause. You need to scale the x and y too the size you want and then z for the thickness required. 03/04/21 re-drew completely and split the bee into the three colour parts: wings (transparent); body (yellow) and details (black). I dont have a multi colour printer so cannot test colour changes yet. Hope to be able to do so soon though. If there are any problems, let me know. (I tested it in one colour and printed well) "BeeV2" is complete bee version of the three parts. It is for those without multi colour printers. The design is slightly different from vers.1 so I left also BeeV1 too. I just fixed a small "bug" in the STL.
