Things to 3D print

[CaseyP]

I'm late to the 3D printing game but just got one and holy moly this thing is awesome once dialed in. I've purchased at least $100 in 3D parts but now I can print at home. What are your favorite aquarium items that you've printed?

So far I've printed this Hanna cuvette drying rack and a DI resin packer.

What printer did you get?

I actually like storing the cuvettes with DI water so water spots don't form.

The mushroom cages I got from @richiev have been really useful. Light shades for my old AI and my Kessil fuge light helped with light spill too.

Flashforge Creator Pro. Traded coral for it

That's next on my list. I'm just trying to find or create a design I like. The fine mesh ones I've purchased before I have issues with soft corals getting stuck to the sides when there's flow. Other designs available in thingiverse have solid bottoms which collects too much detritus. I'll probably edit one of those to add holes on the bottom and legs to lift it for detritus drainage.

I think my favorite thing so far has been my trident housing.

If you rinse with RODI water, they don’t get spots as they dry, since the spots are minerals in the water. I use a lab-type squirt bottle with RODI.

My favorites so far have been custom designed large bio balls for my Aiptasia tanks, and a feeding ring for my Apex feeder that attaches to the unit.

Definitely a learning curve dialing it in. Wasted about 8 hours of printing and probably 5 duds before I got a successful one. Lmk if u need anything printed!

i got this printer for free and has worked flawlessly for a couple of years now.

Follow thorough my severely out of date tank journal / DIY posts. I have a ton of stuff that I’ve designed and 3D printed.
