Hive Number Stencils
Every registered hive here in New Zealand has to carry its number, and hand-painting it neatly is the fiddly part. So I made a free stencil: one plate you 3D print and spray through.
The longer story, including the printer and the bits that went wrong, is in the journal: A Stencil for the Hive. Letters and numbers, up to eight characters. Choose your preferred font. A 4.4 mm lip on the edges you pick, to catch the overspray. Type your registration number to see your stencil. No printer, or no patience for one? I print these myself, in black PETG unless you ask for something else, and post them anywhere in New Zealand. The number, font and lip you picked above are what gets printed. Add your address, send it through, and I will reply with the total and the bank details for a transfer. It goes in the post once that clears. The money from these goes into our own hives.Make one

What you get
One plate, 245 x 111 mm, letters cut right through, so the spray does the work and the edges stay clean. Prints flat on a 256 mm bed, no supports, in one piece. Tape it to the hive, spray thin coats, peel it off.
Optional 4.4 mm lip to catch overspray: 46 g with it, 42 g without. 256 mm bed only, so no smaller printer. Letters and numbers, no screw holes, free, nothing uploaded, the file built in the browser.
