Bee with drill stinger

thingiverse

Here is a picture of a bee I printed for a buddy that has a cool spiral drill for the stinger. All files should print without any support which makes for easy assembly. There are also pegs associated...I havent seemed to find the perfect tolerance for the pegs so some adjust ment may need to be done for perfect fit (sanding or clipping). This was my first attempt at painting so, don't poke too much fun lol ;) The head and the stinger will stay pretty well in tack with the pegs only, however I found that adding some fusion bonding epoxy worked well. I also used the epoxy to permanently attach the wings to the back...it printed much looser than anticipated and will require some epoxy.
