Description

The American frame lifter with a spur, designed by ApiObi for beekeepers, is a compact, 3D-printable tool. This multifunctional tool allows you to scrape off propolis and remove frames, making your work in the apiary and honey house easier.

Here are the detailed dimensions:
Length : 195 mm
Thickness : 5 mm
Maximum width : 75 mm
Height (beveled lever tip): 25 mm
Flat blade bevel : 35 mm
Support hole : 9 mm (does not remove nails)
Weight : 37 g of PETG

The flat frame lifter allows you to pry and lift the frames. The blade, meanwhile, makes it easier to separate the components and safely scrape off wax, propolis, and debris without risk of damaging the material (e.g., scraping frames, feeders, and Nicotplast HDPE plastic bottoms, etc.).

Technical Tips for 3D Printing

Easy flat printing the template is designed to be simple and easy to print
Recommended infill: 100 %
→ totally solid part, more robust, durable, more hygienic (no risk of internal cavities where moisture could stagnate), facilitating bevel sharpening.
No support, no brim fast, clean printing without complicated post-processing.
