Bee feeder platform for 5 gallon chicken waterer

This is a work in progress, the customer needs to test the grate in the waterer when they receive it, and the files will be updated after. You will need to print 8 of these to make the full circle. If needed a fastening system could make them snap together, but there should be no reason to - since they will simply fit snugly in a circle. -Draft Print Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0XG15NgvMk The A/C was cranked on during this print, so a side lifted, but again this is just a rough draft.
