I wanted to get my aging turtle some more space to bask for our indoor tank, so designed this frame that should insert into most tank topper frames that have a 24" x 18" opening (this I believe fits 55/70/90 gallon tanks with a 48" x 18" measurement).
Print this frame out in 6 pieces, use filament/superglue to hold together. Print with supports. I found tree supports produced a better/cleaner edge.
BOM:
2 sheets of 3/16" 24" x 12" plexiglass (front/back)
2 sheets of 3/16" 18" x 12" plexiglass (sides)
1 sheet of ¼" 24"x18" polycarbonate (floor)
1 reptile tank lid (I bought one for a 48" x 18" that folds in half, could not find anything else)
1 roll of astroturf
1 tube of Aquarium sealant
Instructions:
1. Do test prints to verify your size/shrinkage settings. This was printed out of ABS for me and fits perfect.
2. Print the frame and glue together using superglue and strands of filament in the holes to line the pieces up. If possible, let dry while sitting in the opening of your aquarium.
3. Print the top corners
4. Assemble your plexiglass walls using the notches in the frame, hold in place with painters tape
5. Line up top corners and permanently attach with aquarium sealant, wait to dry
6. Lift up 4 plexiglass walls (glued together now, so be careful), add aquarium sealant to groove in printed frame, re-install into groove, wait to dry
7. If desired, add a bead of aquarium sealant along the inside of each corner, but this isn't necessary
8. Using a dremel or hack/jigsaw, cut 2 notches in your polycarbonate sheet to determine where/how long your dock should be. Since my turtle is larger (21 year old Mississippi Map!) I made a very wide dock.
9. Place polycarbonate sheet on a piece of wood (outside) and blast it with a heatgun along the line you want to bend to create your ramp. This will take a while, so be careful. I kept constant pressure on the dock (firm, but too not hard) and over about 20-30 minutes I was able to get it bent to the angle I liked.
10. Attach astroturf (or similar) using aquarium sealant. I wrapped mine around the ends so nothing was left sharp (using clamps to hold while it dried)
11. Install and enjoy! :)
