Bee feeder reusing a common PET bottle as a reservoir. Just fill it up with water, sugar water or whatever your specific neighbours appreciate.

 

My settings in PrusaSlicer using PETG and a 0.4mm nozzle:

  • Should print well without support
  • Layer Height: 0.2mm 
  • Perimiter walls: 3
  • Bottom Layers: 5
  • Perimiter Generator: Classic (Using Arachne left me with gaps in the outer walls and some of the small hexagons)
  • Detect Thin Walls: Yes
  • External Perimeters First: Yes
  • Perimiters: 0.5mm
  • Top Fill Pattern: Aligned Recilinear
  • Fill Angle: 30

The final beauty fix was adding a modifier on top of the three smallest hexagon peices close to the middle, forcing these to have only 1 perimiter. This removed the last of the gaps for me.
