thingiverse
Here's a new connection method I'm working on for formicarium modules. These modules will be 3/4 to 1 turn screw on to connect modules, featuring a nub at the top of the screw to align and lock the modules when screwed together. The 3/8" OD flex tubing should fit directly into the female TS Twist connectors. Connect modules using the 3/8" OD flex tubing or use the TS Twist male to male adapter. Pictures are included for reference. Adapters for compatibility with "Many Formicarium" connectors are also provided, available on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2377968. Test tube adapters are still being designed and tested. 12mm tubes have been tested, and test prints are being done with PLA. The fitment of the connectors may not be the same with different plastic combinations. Ideas for improvement include using TS Twist Plug to stop any ports up that aren't being used or wrapping cotton or another soft material around the 3/8" OD vinyl tube and securing a 12mm test tube over it. This project is now in beta development stage. Existing components as of December 31, 2019 should be working. Appreciation for tips towards my work is greatly appreciated.
