Bantamarium V2 CULT | TINY Kit

Experience the fascination of aquatic life in our most compact interactive habitat yet: the Bantam V2 CULT | TINY. By shrinking the engineering of our professional hatchery kits into the footprint of the Bantamarium TINY, we’ve created a desk-sized ecosystem that is as fun to play with as it is to watch.

Unlike larger models, the TINY does not require an external air pump; instead, it features a custom-built internal pipette-action system housed within the tall base. Press the signature Bantam fidget logo to force water through the tank, creating instant circulation and oxygenation. Choose between Black or White finishes and customize your view with RGB, Warm, or Cool LED lighting options.

Recommended Settings

⚙️ Recommended Print Settings

This kit uses several structural components, prioritizing dimensional accuracy for assembly.

FDM/Filament Settings (Recommended for Structure & Size)

Material: PETG or ABS/ASA is strongly recommended for structural integrity, dimensional stability, and resistance to humidity/moisture.
Layer Height: 0.2 mm.
Infill Density: 20%. Provides necessary structural strength.
Wall/Perimeter Count: 4. Crucial for strong seams for assembly.
Supports: No supports are required.

SLA/Resin Settings (Recommended for Detail)

Material: ABS-Like UV Resin (ensure structural integrity).
Layer Height: 0.05 mm or finer.
Supports: No supports are required.
Calibration: Dimensional accuracy is key for component fit.

Important: Dimensional calibration is essential for assembly! A snug fit is required before gluing sections together

Assembly & Installation

🛠️ Preparation & Post-Processing Steps

This product requires multiple mandatory preparation steps in the slicer, assembly with a pump, and a mandatory painting process.

Assembly (Glue Required)

Support Removal Diagram: Consult the BV2 TINY Top Trim Diagram for the correct way to remove the inner support trim.
Assembly Diagram: Consult the Bantam V2 TINY Tank Diagram for the correct sequence and orientation of all parts.
Part Joining: Glue all large structural components together using Max Strength Construction Adhesive.

Curing (CRITICAL)

Cure Time: Allow a MANDATORY 48-HOUR CURE TIME in a well-ventilated area to prevent white residue (“fogging”) on the enclosure walls.

Cleaning (CRITICAL)

Before introducing the assembled habitat to animals or plants, wash it thoroughly with hot, non-soapy water. A final thorough rinse is mandatory.

📦 Required External Tools

The following materials are required to complete the functional connection system and are not included with the STL files.

Max Strength Construction Adhesive, Clear: This is the safest, strongest, clearest glue for vivarium use.
Clear Acrylic Tubing 46mm(ID) x 50mm(OD): The height of the pipe can be cut to your preference (Mine are 3in tall). If another diameter pipe is used, remember to size up the STL files to match (I typically will print only the base and test fit until I figure out the exact percentage increase and print the rest at that scale).
Clear Acrylic Circle Disc: These are used for the Glass Tops.
LED Waterproof Tea Light: These are used for the Light Tops.
Generic Cupcake Pipettes: These are used to create the push-button logo mechanism.
Keychain Ring Clip Kit (Optional): If you want to add a keychain ring to the setup, like the one pictured.
