TPU Hermit Crab Pool

Print Settings:

• Any layer height (though larger layer height won't hurt anything)

• Any nozzle size (largest one you have)

• 2-4 walls (to be water-tight)

• Use a different filament for support interface for easy removal and less scarring

• Dry your filament to reduce stringing as much as possible

• Increase travel speed to 1000mm/s for even less stringing

• Ironing for smooth surface

WARNING:

• I am not responsible for the death or injury of your hermit crab(s)

• Before installing into tank or enclosure, pour water into it (as shown in the gif), and if it leaks, reprint another one or use aquarium epoxi/resin to cover the print up. If it doesn't leak, good job

• DO NOT use tap water, bottled water (except for bottled spring water), or table salt water

• You can use rain water (straight from the sky), bottled spring water, already made solutions, and dechlorinated tap water.

• ALWAYS supervise your hermit crabs while in this pool

• Put some sand and/or pebbles at the bottom of the pool to make sure hermit crabs can climb out

• Reduce stringing because hermit crabs can choke and die on TPU strings.

Why use TPU?

• TPU is water-tight

• TPU is more humidity and temp resistant than stuff like PLA.
