Makerworld has significantly reduced the download/print points awarded to designers. Instead, they have introduced the "Boost" token, which you can apply to models that may not be the most popular (already gaining points from downloads and prints), but are useful or meaningful to you in general. This supports and encourages us, the "losers" (those not focusing on popular themes like Star Wars, car keychains, countless airless balls, etc.), to create more useful or niche designs.

Here's the Ladybug, Pill bug & Mosquito expansion tile for my HIVE flavor. You can find the main pieces and a storage box at https://makerworld.com/en/models/151315

Multicolored:

There are two types of tiles: one with the insect symbol protruding (Yang) and the other with the symbol engraved (Yin). The colors on the Yang's tiles are determined by layer height, so don't be confused if you intend to change the color by painting.

• 1 Mosquito (Gray)
• 1 Ladybug (Red)
• 1 Pill bug (Cyan)

Dual color:

If you prefer dual colors and not multicolored tiles, I have included two profiles with Yang's tiles—one set with black tiles and white insects, and another with the colors reversed. 

No AMS manual color changing:

I have also included a profile that pauses for manual color/filament changing for those who do not have AMS.

Simply start the printing process, it will halt at the color changing point. Your nozzle will cool down automatically, just reheat it to 250°C in Bambu Studio and click "unload" for filament removal. Load your desired color, extrude a few times to clear the previous color, and then press the 'resume' button in Bambu Studio.

The Mosquito possesses the abilities of any neighboring piece, whether it be an ally or an opponent. For instance, if it is adjacent to a Grasshopper, it can mimic the Grasshopper's movements. However, if the Mosquito ascends the Hive using Beetle powers, it can only move like a Beetle until descending to the main playing level. When one Mosquito touches another, each Mosquito only adopts the powers of pieces directly adjacent to itself; inheriting abilities through another Mosquito is not allowed.

As for the Pillbug, it can relocate a piece situated next to it to an unoccupied space also adjacent to itself, employing a two-step process. In the first step, the Pillbug raises the piece out of the Hive, and in the second step, it positions the piece into an available space nearby. It's crucial to note that the Pillbug must adhere to the one-Hive rule and cannot move a piece essential to the Hive. Additionally, there are restrictions, such as not being able to move a piece if either the Pillbug or the target piece is covered, if the target piece was moved in the most recent turn, if the Pillbug itself was moved in the most recent turn, and if the movement involves traversing a Beetle gate on the second layer of the Hive.

The Ladybug, on the other hand, moves by temporarily perching on an adjacent piece, traversing to a different piece, and then descending to an open space on the main layer of the Hive.
