No noticeable sag from adding the port. Nice to not have to take the whole lid off for feeding (lazy).

Everything including the screws were printed. Used black PETG. Used the files from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4629938

Found it in this nice compilation of aquarium 3D printed parts: https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/3d-printed-parts-aquarium-archive-thread.3032/. (One of our own @Srt4eric has a contribution included in this compilation. Nice to be in the presence of a celeb lol)

Yep this product is what made me look for a similar design on thingiverse. Definitely a good option if you don’t have a printer or don’t want to hassle with PETG (it can be a pain to print with ime)

That's awesome. I was laughing at being called a celeb just to be clear. What printer do you have?

(That favia is ready by the way. I just keep forgetting to text you)

No worries, thats how I took it lol. I have the monoprice maker select plus, which is a rebrand of the Wanhao Duplicator i3. It had been down for awhile, but a friend working on his got me motivated to tinker again. Also Octoprint is an awesome upgrade that makes it a lot more enjoyable to use.

And thanks, I will reach out about the favia! The cyphastrea is doing good and encrusting a decent amount now
 
Hey William, for the thingverse stl file it have "raft". I cannot find the option in Cura to disable the raft. Any clues?

My first PETG print works well, but raft get fuse to the main print. I am trying not to use raft with PETG. PLA is fine, probably because the lower nozzle temp

Not sure, I dont see a raft when I load it in Cura, and I can toggle through different plate adhesions. When I printed I only used a Brim, no raft was done. Do all 4 files have the raft or just a particular one? Maybe it is a weird Cura setting/version issue? I am running 4.8.0
