Should be not too large, as the box it needs to hold has a reasonable size.

hello, can someone help 3D print something like this for me: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1846198610/frag-plug-holder

I am sure this must be a pretty common request and there maybe better designs available, so I am ok with some other designs too.. Happy to pay for the same, thank you in advance! FWIW, I am in San Jose

The intent is to make it easier to glue corals to your rock work?

Yes, and also be able to move around the corals easily

Thanks much for your offer @grizfyrfyter .. do you have to come down south anytime? It’s not urgent but coordinating pickup might be challenging.. really appreciate your offer to help!

I really like this, as im very indecisive about placing thing permanently. I can model it right now but I need the dimensions on a normal plug the ones I have right now are weird and have a thin short stim. im guessing 10mm wide by 20mm long?

Thanks much.. I was chatting with chatGPT to create STL file for this.. gpt recommended PETG for this and here is the STL it shared with me.. I personally have 0 experience with STL files, and gpt can be error prone, but you can play around a little and alter things after chatting with chatGPT.. again, coordinating pickup might be tricky but if you do end up printing 1 for yourself, please do share your thoughts on the design and how it can be improved

im already done and sending to the printer to test lol. doing a flat bottom because concave will take longer to print and more glue to adhere
