⚙️ Recommended Print Settings

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.
