One of the first products we invested a lot of time and effort in was a 3D-printed enclosure, like the acrylic ones already out there (we are getting into those as well,  so stay tuned).  What 3D-printing gives you is a fair bit of flexibility and customisation, so while we have a standardised set of enclosures (and flexibility in colour), if you're really after a certain size, a nameplate, more vents, or more mesh... we can do that.

We have 2 'standard' size options, each in 2 heights. All of which have remveable panels on the sides that are either acrylic so you can see in, or vented so air can circulate. The top lid has acrylic so you can see in.

The outside dimensions of the "Regla" version is 12x12x20cm while the "Mega" is 15x15x24cm. 

The "Tallboi" variants add height to allow for some substrate in the bottom without worrying about the panels, and add 2cm to the Regla and 2.5cm to the Mega.

They are designed to be flat-packed and easily assembled.

Are 3D printed things safe?

Yes.

The war on microplastics is real, and whether you think it matters will guide your beliefs about whether you should use this product. 

Food safety and 3D-printing has also had a bit of a run in the press. Even the Tupperware you have in your cupboard was only food-safe out of the factory (well, if it said it was food-safe, that is). Even if you use "food safe" filament, you still bump into the printer, brass nozzles, crusty coatings... even if you tackle all that, you still have layer lines that bad things can live in.  Even if you tackle THAT, you still have scratches that happen with use (your Tupperware, for example). Again, this is a "you" choice. We have been using 3D-printed things in aquariums for over a decade without any issues. I have been drinking out of a 3D-printed cup for most of that... although, probably best not to use my "normal" as a guide.

General Notes

These items are 3D printed. This is a process that uses heat to turn a long strand of plastic into the things you see here. If you apply heat again, they will think you want them to change shape again. Keep these items at a reasonable room temp (under 35C), even when cleaning.

While plastics are generally more resistant to harsh chemicals, there is no need to use them. Also, layer lines and scratches.

If you need to clean these items, use lukewarm water and a sensible detergent. Let them air-dry, then use a microfibre cloth to wipe them down.
