Give your arboreal pets a beautiful, natural climbing path with the Mini Branch Ledge Decor Set! This unique magnetic ledge is designed to mimic the appearance of real wood, providing a secure and aesthetic resting spot for inhabitants.
The branch ledge attaches directly to glass enclosures using tiny magnets (not included), allowing for flexible, tool-free placement. This is a rewarding print suitable for FDM or Resin, requiring minimal supports and simple post-print magnet assembly.
Share This Design:
This is a structural component that will bear weight. Strength and durability in humidity are the priorities.
Material: PETG or ABS/ASA is strongly recommended for strength and resilience in high-humidity vivariums. Wood-filled filaments can also be used, but may require special sealing.
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 branch overhangs or where the magnet holes are located.
SLA/Resin Settings (Recommended for Detail)
Material: Standard UV Resin (Brown or Wood color).
Layer Height: 0.05 mm or finer.
Orientation (CRITICAL): Print at an angle to the build plate to manage peel forces and minimize layer visibility across the branches.
Supports: Minimal supports may be required for the branch undersides or magnet recesses.
Preparation: No hollowing or drainage holes needed.
Important: Always thoroughly clean your final print before placing it in any animal habitat. Ensure magnet recesses are sized correctly for your chosen magnets before printing.
This product requires crucial assembly and an extended curing period to prevent damage to your enclosure.
Preparation: Print the branch ledge. 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.
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.
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.
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.
