Varroa destructor

thingiverse

I've fixed the varroa mite's structural issues using online tools that repair non-manifold edges and self-intersecting edges, resulting in a significantly less fragile model when printed, particularly with regards to its mouthparts. These tools still leave some self-intersecting edges behind, but the larger the model, the more robust the results become. This particular model measures 143mm long at its widest point, which is roughly proportionate to the size of a mite if humans were bee-sized. I utilized S3D to scale up the original model from approximately 12mm in size to 143mm.
