I'm a bit confused as to why it has the shape that it does.. What is it that you are hoping it will do?

@nca78 Thanks! With that as the missing context, it all makes sense now. So, not only is it a beehive scale (and more), but it also kinda resembles a bee. I'm guessing that's no coincidence. Clever! And, naturally, it has a hive mind of makers behind it.

Nice project!

Hey! This looks like a great project! I'm considering building one for my hives.

I notice that the legs need to be welded. That will be a chore for people that want to make this build themselves.
Is this version designed to be built by anyone?

Did you consider using open source or standardized hardware? Think of 2020 alu profiles or something, to allow reasonable buildability for users other than beep-base-shop.

Also let me know if I misjudged, and that all components could be simply bought online.

Stay awesome!
