Modular Ant Neighbors

thingiverse

I Added some Stop plates with grates for those who might want more air flow. I Also added a Queen brooding chamber with a built-in food dispenser. I read somewhere that if you put two different ant colonies in close proximity but stop them from fighting, eventually they will begin to believe that they are all one colony... so I remixed this to have a screen to allow air flow while still dividing the two colonies to test this theory. The idea is to connect two modular Formicas side by side and also connect them with cross adapters to make them pass each other on their way to their out worlds. Then after a month or probably two, remove the dividers. PS I plan on only having one queen or none to keep it simple. And as always go check out the original designs: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1388709 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2539082
