Upgrade your Bantamarium’s airflow with the Vented Lid for Bantamarium V2 MINI Tanks. This essential modular component is designed for optimal air exchange, featuring secure side ventilation slots, dedicated port openings for additional addons, and a slot for a liquid feeder.
Ideal for species requiring higher airflow or lower humidity. Due to the recessed ports and slots, supports are required for successful printing. This lid is compatible with all Bantam V2 MINI tanks.

Dimensional accuracy is critical for these connectors to prevent leaks. Water-safe materials are mandatory.
Material: PETG or ABS/ASA are highly recommended due to the water contact and need for durability.
Layer Height: 0.2 mm or 0.16 mm. Use a finer layer height for better threading/fitting surfaces.
Infill Density: 20-30%. Necessary for structural integrity under hose pressure.
Wall/Perimeter Count: 4. Crucial for strength and preventing porosity.
Supports (CRITICAL): Supports are NOT REQUIRED.
SLA/Resin Settings (Recommended for Detail)
Material: ABS-Like UV Resin (ensure it’s structurally sound).
Layer Height: 0.05 mm or finer.
Supports: SUPPORTS ARE REQUIRED for the port and liquid feeder sponge slots.
Calibration: Ensure your resin printer is calibrated for minimal dimensional shrinkage.
Important: Dimensional calibration is essential! We recommend printing a test piece before batch printing to ensure everything fits tightly.
These parts require proper cleaning and careful assembly to prevent leaks.
Supports: SUPPORTS ARE REQUIRED for all recessed slots and ports. Remove them carefully post-print.
Hollowing: Not required. Print solid.
Assembly: NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED for the main lid.
Sponge Insertion: Press the liquid feeder sponge (not included) firmly into its designated slot.
Optional Glue: For permanent placement, use a small drop of aquarium-safe glue (cyanoacrylate) to secure the sponge/feeder in the recess. Do not use glue if you intend to remove the sponge for cleaning or replacement.
Before placing these components into your habitat’s water system, wash them thoroughly with hot, non-soapy water. A final thorough rinse is mandatory.
The following components fit into this lid but are not included with the STL file.
