The Hive 2.0

thingiverse

Welcome to The Hive 2.0 This is my re-imagining of the original the hive. I have remade the models from scratch and made them slightly bigger. I had the problem with the original that the tolerance was so bad that the modules did not connect properly. Thus i have created 2 versions of The Hive 2.0 There is a low tolerance version. This version requires that you have an accurate printer. There is also a high tolerance version. This version has more room around the connectors. But it still connects securely. There is pictures of both versions. The red/blue is the low tolerance and the orange is the high tolerance. The only difference between the models is the protruding connectors. meaning that you can connect both the high and low tolerance together. The drawers are the same for both models. They have a tolerance in between the modules and should work for everybody. Let me know if i need to make a different version. I have created a excel document where you can calculate how many you can make of each model given how much filament you have left. The calculations are approximations. If they do not match your prints. Change the overhead filament pr print so it matches. The files are a mess here on Thingiverse. So i have included a copy of the files on dropbox. These files are in their correct folders for ease of use. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wro6fzlypuw2k3n/AACF1LjPTxD_me8OufsDFL2ba?dl=0 Print settings: I printed the modules with a layer height of 3.2 and it worked fine. The drawers need to be printed with a smaller layer height where the knob fits. If printed correctly the knobs will press fit into the drawer and you will not need to glue them in place.
