Mini Plus entry gate V2

Mini Plus entry gate with selective entries (open - drone excluder - queen excluder - closed) with flying board.

Original design was by Gizmo83 under Thingiverse ID 4789118, licenced under CC BY 4.0 (Attribution needed). This original design isn't available anymore on Thingiverse. It used a printed M6 screw that I couldn't render quite well. So I replaced it with a printed M8 thread directly on the plate and a printable wingnut to allow detachment. This way, it tightens well. The flying board helps to prevent accidental movement of the reducer (and thus to avoid an too easy accidental closure of the Mini Plus) and helps bees to get easier into the nuc.


Motivation behind this revival of entry gate project is the lack of serious and qualitative products available commercially. The CC BY 4.0 Deed license is here only because the original design was under the same license, otherwise I would have uploaded it under public domain.

Use of screws to fix the plate and the board is n
