We gave a ClownBee3D to a independent tester, Charles B, to see how they got on…
Today I tried my ClownBee3d for the first time. Getting my head around producing flat wax sheet took a while, but once I got the correct temperature of molten wax, everything became much easier. Using the ClownBee3d on the other hand was much easier.
Three things.
1) you need to clamp the base to something, as you need two free hands.
2)the sheets of wax you made need to be warm
3) plenty of soapy water.
The quality of the ClownBee3d is exceptional. Really well put together with quality components. Rolling the sheets of wax and producing unbelievable foundation is another level for my bee keeping hobby.
I know it’s a fiddle, but Ive tried imported silicone sheet moulds (that were next to useless), I’ve tried using my bee societies loan steel flat press, they are all a fiddle.
The ClownBee3d roller produced really high quality foundation that I cut to fit both British national brood and super sizes.
Well done! A product I would happily recommend to anyone.
Looking forward to seeing it in action in the spring, in my new hives!
