Langstroth Hive Frame

# Langstroth Frame Kit

## Intro

Unless you have a massive 3D printer that can print 483 mm pieces, you're going to have to print this in several parts. I have provided both the original parts (preferred) and pre-cut parts which are split so they can be printed on a 250 mm printer. This means that some parts must stand up vertically if you use something like an Ender 3.

Do **not** scale this project unless building custom hive bodies.

While the frames could be assembled with 3D printed parts, also consider that these STLs could be used to generate templates for your own woodworking. Given the size of the top and bottom bars, and the relatively simple construction of these pieces, a mix-and-match of wooden tops and bottoms with 3D printed sides to create shallow (short), medium, and deep frames would be an excellent project.
