Formicarium for very new colonies - Replace water without moving the queen

cults3d

This splitter for formicarium allows small colonies, still in vials, to stay in their original container when you need to replace the water. I've wanted to avoid stress on early colonies when replacing water, and since I haven't found anything I liked, I made it myself. I will continue to do tweaks as time passes. Connexions are for the Nest, Water tube, and Foraging area. I feed the ants in the foraging area, so the nest is mainly untouched. Place a cotton ball in the hole without tube to allow air through. When you need to move the colony to a bigger nest, just place the adapter with a tube, and open the lid of the nest. Printed with 10% supports, remove them with a little drill slowly. The nest box hole will probably need a bit of sanding, as it's very tight (So light can't get through). Beware, clear colour filaments will allow light through, so if you decide to print it in white or other bright colours, paint the insides black, so it doesn't bother the ants. Any tips to improve the build is welcome. Feel free to distribute and modify any files.
