360 degree Formicarium

thingiverse

I've always been fascinated by ant farms, but I couldn't find one that didn't look like a toy. So, I decided to create my own 360-degree dugout using a glass candle holder. The central part of the design creates an obstacle that forces the ants to tunnel against the glass. It also features a small pool at the top, allowing you to provide the ants with a water reserve without flooding the enclosure. This design is flexible and accepts a mason jar lid, enabling us to customize any type of adapter or joinery we need. Alternatively, we can simply attach an old lid to keep the enclosure closed. To complete the setup, seal the interior piece to the drive using silicone or hot glue. Do the same for the lid, ensuring that there are no cracks for the ants to escape through.
