Description

Introducing BugBox, the perfect homestead for insects in your garden or yard! BugBox is mold and heat resistant, due to vents on the back that prevent the enclosure from overheating & getting too humid.

WARNING: DO NOT PRINT WITH MORE THAN 70% INFILL! The BugBox won't dissipate heat fast enough if there is too much infill, which cooks any bugs that come into it.

Print Settings

Infill: 20%-50%

Supports: No

Adhesion: Doesn't Matter

Post-Printing

Clean and Prime the BugBox

To make sure the BugBox is a safe environment for your bugs, make sure that there are no strands or blobs of filament lying in the way of the heat vents. Rub a sterile microfiber cloth along the surface to remove any harmful bacteria, and put your BugBox outside!
(PS: You can cover the BugBox in a non-toxic waterproof seal to stop internal mold growth.)

BONUS Step!

If you want, you can bait bees and other insects to come to the BugBox with some flower petals inside the honeycomb structure!
