Aquarium Decoration - Wood Texture Pleco Cave - Small

thingiverse

Small wood textured pleco cave or any fish shrimp reptiles habitat. 15.3cm X 4.6cm X 3.5cm in size. Designed with thin 2mm walls for printing with 100% infill no supports needed; unsuitable for significant resizing due to wall thickness. Print as oriented to avoid support needs. Bottom of cave left open to save filament usage. PLA and PETG plastics are denser than freshwater so 100% infill will naturally sink to tank bottom. On safety longevity: Both PLA and PETG plastics are generally food safe; however dyes additives might not be, so I use natural color for safety. Decorations are painted with non-toxic acrylics coated with plasti-dip generally considered aquarium safe to seal paint. I recommend printing in PETG long term since PLA is biodegradable breaking down from heat water presence; still lasting over a year according to research. Disclaimer: As hobbyist everything stated based on personal experience google search results; I recommend doing own research consulting professionals whenever possible.
