Description

A robust and versatile 3D-printed support for frames and rails 🐝

Make your hive inspections easier with this ultra-strong support for frames and rails, specially designed for demanding beekeepers.
Print 2 or 3 supports in order to create your own long support and gain in comfort during handling and apiary visits.

✅ Compatible with all types of hives TBH, Kenyan, Tanzanian, Dadant, Langstroth, Warré, Voirnot, Cadron... all models with boards up to 25 mm thick.
➡️ Tip: if your boards are smaller than 24 mm, simply add a wedge - no need to resize the model in your slicer.

✅ Practical and customizable :

  • 120 mm working area, ideal for mounting several frames or bars.
  • Model thickness : 10 mm, but you can easily reinforce it by increasing the height on the Z axis in your slicer.

✅ Tested and approved by beekeepers :
This model is not a gadget, but a real beekeeping tool. Numerous tests have been carried out to validate its sturdiness: it withstands up to 6 kg without deformation (see photo with 3 x 2-litre bottles).

In a nutshell: 120 mm useful surface, 6 kg supported with only 2 supports, uncomplicated - a genuine tool designed for beekeepers 🐝

Technical Tips for 3D Printing

Easy to 3D print - Flat and ultra-solid

This model is designed to be easy to print on any standard FDM printer. It is compatible with PETG, ABS or ASA, with a preference for PETG, which offers the best combination of rigidity and durability for use in beekeeping.

Printing tips

With 0.6 mm nozzle:

  • Layer height: ~0.30mm
  • Filling : 100 % for maximum strength - supports the weight of heavy frames without bending or breaking.

With 0.4 mm nozzle:

  • Layer height: ~0.20 mm
  • Filling : 100 % to ensure maximum rigidity.

Other recommendations

  • Supports: very little; the model can generally be flatbed printing without substrate.
  • Tray adhesion : use a glue stick or PEI surface for best results.
  • Filament : the Blue PETG was used for the fully validated final products shown in the photos.

💡 Tip: printing with 100 % filling guarantees that the frame support can carry several kilos safely, which makes it a reliable, durable tool for real-life hive inspections.

⚠️ Avoid PLA, which is not sufficiently resistant to mechanical stress and beekeeping conditions.
