Mini Tree Trunk Hideout Decor

Provide a natural, secure retreat for your small inhabitants with the Mini Tree Trunk Hideout Decor! This detailed piece mimics the look of a weathered log, offering a cozy shelter or a small basking spot for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

The structural design is optimized for support-free, vertical printing, allowing you to simply drop the file into your slicer and achieve a clean, strong print. Suitable for both Resin (SLA) for fine detail and Filament (FDM) for larger, more structural pieces, this model requires no assembly or painting.

⚙️ Recommended Print Settings

This structural print is designed for a specific vertical orientation for the best surface texture and layer adhesion. No sealing or hollowing is required.

FDM/Filament Settings (Recommended for Structure & Size)

Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS. PETG or ABS/ASA are recommended for high-humidity vivarium environments for long-term durability.
Layer Height: 0.2 mm.
Infill Density: 10-15%. Sufficient for a strong, structural hideout.
Wall/Perimeter Count: 3. Ensures structural integrity.
Orientation (CRITICAL): Print the model vertically as designed. No supports required.

SLA/Resin Settings (Recommended for Detail)

Material: Standard UV Resin (Brown or Dark Grey).
Layer Height: 0.05 mm or finer.
Orientation (CRITICAL): Print vertically as designed. No supports required.
Preparation: No hollowing or drainage holes needed.

Important: Always thoroughly clean your final print before placing it in a viarium. Avoid using metal-filled or abrasive filaments. For long-term use, ensure your chosen material is chemically stable in water.

Assembly & Installation

🛠️ Preparation & Post-Processing Steps

This simple print requires no assembly, only cleaning for safety.

Slicer Preparation

Hollowing: Not required. Print solid or with low infill.
Supports: Not required. The design is optimized for support-free printing in the vertical orientation.
Assembly: No glue or assembly required. This prints as a single, complete piece.

Cleaning (CRITICAL)

Before introducing the hideout to your terrarium, wash it thoroughly with hot, non-soapy water. This removes any release agents (Resin) or printing oils/dust (FDM) that could harm the inhabitants. A final thorough rinse is mandatory.

📦 Required External Tools

None. This is a 100% 3D printed, single-piece accessory.
