Customizable Aquarium Planter

thingiverse

GeneralI was looking for a some basic planters for my aquarium, but wanted to be able to relatively easily customize them. End goal is to create some corners that allow for tubing, cords, etc to run behind.PrintingThe small difference between the smaller radius and larger radius of the pin allows for it to be printed vertically with either end on the bottom. The basket should be printed with the opening at the top. I did not have any issues with the hex diameter at 6mm and based on the angles should be fine to scale that up or down to suit needs without any print setting mods. For this I just used Cura's Standard Quality - 0.2mm PLA profile. Should print fine at other resolutions, just didn't think anything else was necessary.NOTE: Make sure that the hex walls have an angle at the top when designing your own. That is how the bevel pins are oriented. Walls with the hex angles oriented to the sides instead of the top will not mount to the aquarium lid bevel.*Mods and AssemblyAll of the tolerances are very tight to allow for a snug fit. Modify as needed. Attach pins to planter box before placing on the aquarium so they are lined up correctly. The bevel pins will not come off the bevel very easily (by design). Add as many as pins as you think you need, but only 2 of each are needed for the size box in the stl.DisclaimerThere seems to be some controversy over whether PLA is toxic for fish. I could not determine a straight answer and will find out I guess. Others have suggested using PETG (I just don't have any).Shout-outThe honeycomb walls came from u/gaellafond's Honeycomb library. I included it, but did not make any modifications.
