If anyone's interested in trying it and wants to pay for the filament (it uses up almost an entire roll), I'll print one or two before the next swap.
That seems like a lot more material than should be necessary. Is it printed solid?

I probably most definitely will void your warranty
You are good at voiding warranties.

It's recommended to print at 38% infill. I think it wound up being like 800g for all the parts when all was said and done

Added more live rock to hopefully deal with a slight ammonia spike. I also hooked up all my lights. I've got them set to 5% intensity right now. I don't have any coral in there and I need the par meter.
Adding some carbon source (vinegar etc) might help the bacteria grow faster too...

I like the modified Trident. I too usually just leave the tray out because it's such a pain to get all the tubes back in without crimping - I really wish they'd change the form factor (and 100 other things).

Flexible filament for that is very clever. I've printed them in PET-G and the tolerances are a nightmare. Half the time it's too big and falls off the other half of the time it's slightly too small and cracks. One in a billion prints where it's usable.

Yea, TPU is a game changer for these. I plan on printing a bunch to hand out at the next cfm.
