This is a structural component that will bear weight. Strength and durability in humidity are the priorities.
FDM/Filament Settings (Recommended for Structure & Size)
-
Material: PETG or ABS/ASA is strongly recommended for strength and resilience in high-humidity vivariums.
-
Layer Height: 0.2 mm.
-
Infill Density: 15-20%. Provides the necessary structural strength to bear weight.
-
Wall/Perimeter Count: 3. Ensures structural integrity.
-
Supports: Minimal supports may be required beneath the cubby overhangs or at the locations of the magnet holes.
SLA/Resin Settings (Recommended for Detail)
-
Material: Standard UV Resin (Grey, White, or colored).
-
Layer Height: 0.05 mm or finer.
-
Orientation (CRITICAL): Print with the base of the model flat against the build plate.
-
Supports: Minimal supports may be required for the cubby openings or magnet recesses.
-
Preparation: No hollowing or drainage holes needed.
Important: Always thoroughly clean your final print before placing it in any animal habitat. Pay careful attention to support removal to avoid damaging the delicate branches.
Assembly & Installation
🛠️ Preparation & Post-Processing Steps
This product requires crucial assembly and an extended curing period to prevent damage to your enclosure.
Assembly (Glue Required)
-
Preparation: Print the ledge body. Clean off all supports and wash the model thoroughly.
-
Magnet Placement: Insert the tiny magnets (ensure they are oriented correctly for polarity!) into the designated recesses in the print.
-
Gluing: Apply a small amount of aquarium-safe super glue (cyanoacrylate) to permanently secure the magnets.
Curing (CRITICAL STEP)
The glue must be fully cured before the magnets are used on glass.
-
Cure Time: MANDATORY 48-HOUR CURE TIME. Cyanoacrylate glue releases a vapor during curing that can cause white residue (“fogging”) to permanently stain acrylic and glass surfaces.
-
Method: Allow the assembled ledge to cure in a well-ventilated area, away from your enclosure, for a minimum of 48 hours.
Cleaning (CRITICAL)
Before placing the ledge in your terrarium, wash it thoroughly with hot, non-soapy water. This removes any glue residue or printing oils that could harm the inhabitants. A final thorough rinse is mandatory.
📦 Required External Tools
-
Tiny Magnets: (Specific size required for recesses, e.g., 5mm x 2mm or 5mm x 3mm Neodymium).
-
Aquarium-Safe Super Glue (Cyanoacrylate): MANDATORY for securing the magnets.
