Fluval EVO 13.5 - Auqa Shield UV Sterilizer Desktop - Insert

prusaprinters

<p>I have a Fluval EVO 13.5 which is acting as a reef tank, and found that I would like to put in an in line UV filter to help with any type of bad bacteria within the tank. In this search I found the Auqa Shield UV Sterilizer Desktop edition, which is a 9w UV sterilizer that fits into the first slot perfectly. Problem.. there was way to much room around the sides of the filter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The purpose of this design is to basically allow the UV steralizer to fit properly within the tank, and ensure all water flows through it and down to the bottom of chamber 1 into chamber 2. A diagram of the back of my Fluval 13.5 explains this best.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For this print I have used the following:</p><ul><li>Prusament PETG, 0.20mm quality</li><li>25% infill</li><li>Due to the simplistic nature of this design, that should be it</li></ul><p>You can test this with PLA+ if you like, but I have personally used PETG from Prusament within my tank for over six months with zero deterioration, warping or problems (fish tank has salinity of 1.026 ppm, pH around 8.2 and temp of 78-80F).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy!</p>
