This piece is designed to provide turtles with a dry area where they can sunbathe as well as a dark area where they can take refuge.

Additionally, it is designed with a central hole where coconut fiber soil can be introduced to place a plant, underneath it uses a voronoi pattern that allows the roots to extend sufficiently.
The legs also have a voronoi pattern to be able to introduce more fiber and other small plants that are completely submerged. These will give life and filtration to the interior of the aquarium.

NEW*: I made a second version that is split in half and joints with a thread, this will make the model much easy to print and also put soil,gravel, moss, inside.

Some tips:

  • Best way to print and save some material is using the split model and tree supports
  • If the aquarium have direct sunlight (Should have, turtles need it) better print with ASA, but PLA is good enough
  • To prevent the platform from floating i remcomend put some pebbles inside (If u use volcanic pebbles they make a great job forming beneficial bacteria, but any pebble or small rock will do the job)
