EZPZ Beekeeper 13

In the 3D printing world, there's a popular design that's freely available to the public called Dummy 13. There are loads of what we call Remixes that include custom changes. They are made like superheroes, video game characters and more. I figure it's time we had one for beekeepers!

 They are made with PETG plastic frames and PETG or PLA "armor"(the outer pieces). They are sturdy but some are more flexible than others. Even though the plastic is the same, the different pigments will have an effect on how much they wear over time and how smoothly the joints move.

They should not be treated like action figures! They will become floppy with extensive use.  Consider them posable models. If you hand yours to a kid (even a "big kid"), expect it to be returned floppy and/or in pieces. Also note: they have small parts! They are NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3!! They can be dismantled but it's not recommended. If yours has become floppy, some users have had success painting a thin coat of nail polish on the joints. Or, if you've settled on one pose in particular, super glue works on PETG and PLA. Try gluing just a few joints each day, starting with the torso in the pose you love.

I'm going to say this again: NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3!!
