About this model
<p>These inserts are designed to clip onto the rim of a 5 gallon poultry fount water feeder to provide safe spots for the bees to get water. Two different heights of platforms account for possible varying water levels, and I have shortened the heights slightly since the pictures were taken so the water level should be closer to the top of the platforms.</p><p>There are two insert styles to account for the water container holding arms on four of the sides. I did different colors just because I was running low on black PLA and it has a nice symmetry about it. The clips for the rim are quite tight so you will need to apply a decent amount of force to snap them in place.</p><p>No need for added supports as the designed support will easily snap off leaving a clean overhang. Can also print with zero infill without issues.</p>
