The BEEVERYCREATIVE BEE as multi-colour 3D-print

This video shows the bee of the BEEVERYCREATIVE logotype 3D-printed as several individual parts in four different colours. These where then assembled together.

 

For the majority of commonly 3D printed items this has the following advantages compared to dual and triple-nozzle 3D printers.

 

- The results yield better quality

- No oozing and colour-smearing problems

- One can use unlimited number of colours (not only two or three)

- A single-nozzle 3D printer always uses the full range of the maximum build volume

- An interrupted 3D print only affects a small portion of the total print time

- No considerable extra 3D modelling overtime needed since multi-nozzle 3D prints also require individual STL files for each colour

The 3D model of this bee was made into several parts in Rhino 3D for Mac OS X. Each part was saved to an STL file and 3D printed a different colour. The where designed to snap-fit to each other.
