Finnex Breeder HOB Media Basket for refugium

thingiverse

I'm designing something new in CAD, my first attempt at all. Spent the week learning and watching videos on various CAD software, trying out multiple programs until I settled on Fusion360. This is the 4th version of this basket. This media basket fits the Finnex External Refugium Breeder Hang-On Box perfectly, measuring 10.25" x 5.5 x 5. I use it as a fuge and decided against the removable partitions that come with it. This basket makes it easy to add bio-media and filter floss without digging through the entire fuge. Now you can simply lift out the whole basket. To maximize water flow, I placed the outflow holes at the bottom. Two overflow notches on top ensure that if your filter media gets clogged, it will spill over into the next chamber instead of onto your floor. I should mention that my photos don't show the two corner notches - they were added to make room for the slots in the refugium dividers. It was a tight fit, so I added the notches for extra space. This basket was printed in PLA. Next up is a print in PETG.
