This structure is designed to be a hiding cave for small aquarium fish or invertebrates. Specifically, I scaled it to give the ghost shrimp a place to escape being pestered.
One version is modeled with a tray-like structure on the roof to be filled with gravel for weight, or to be planted.
Print Settings
Printer:
Monoprice Maker Select / Wanhao i3
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.2 - 0.3 mm layer height
Infill:
30-100% (consider buoyancy)
Notes:
The version with the gravel tray may permit printing with <100% infill, but consider whether or not the print may float. A couple of test prints may help you figure this out.
You may also consider printing with 0 solid bottom layers and a non-compartmentalized or sparse infill to allow water to fill the item during a pre-soak.I recommend printing the gravel tray version tray-down, to minimize the amount of support needed.
I printed in PLA, but I take no responsibility for the effect your chosen material will have on your aquarium environment - do some reading and weigh the risks.
