Aquarium Fish Tank Plants Set

Make your Own aquarium plants with this set of various leaves and bases to create beautiful plants for your aquarium or Fish tank.

Leaves are printed flat. I used a small gas heater blower to mold the leaves once I glued them to the base. You could also mold them before gluing. Also, place leaves in hot water to soften and mold. Be careful with anything hot. :)

Try and reduce infill on base. 0% would be best. The less air in the base the less chance of it floating. That said you can glue a weight to the bottom do help it sink.

Various Bases are available. The rectangle bases come in 2 lengths and either pre-located holes or full-length slots so you have more freedom in placing the leaves.

Gel Glue buy gorilla made from Ethyl 2 Cyanoacrylate is safe in aquariums.

WARNING: Be careful using any heat to mold the plants. Possibility of burns or damage to prints. Let the glue fully cure and dry before molding and putting plants in the aquarium. 

 - 0.2mm layer height was fine. 

 - All leaf lengths are on the file name.

 - You can scale model for large plants (Leafe thickness will increase and make it harder to mold)

 - 0% infill ideally to reduce trapped air in the model. Otherwise, weight down buy gluing or fixing weight to the base.

 - Use Aquarium safe filament. PLA is great for molding

 - Use aquarium-safe glue like Ethyl 2 Cyanoacrylate. Gorilla Gel glue is good. Advised my local Aquarium suppliers.
