Does anyone know where to get the 3D files for diy net cover corners for a rimless tank that sit flush on top of the rim? I saw a few files but they were the type that sit over the rim.
Thanks

Are you talking about the clips that go over the edge of the glass to let the net cover sit flush with the top? I found these on thingiverse, but there are a bunch of different files for the same thing, so I'm guessing I've misunderstood what you're trying to find.

I finally found one that was the style I was looking for. Thanks for your help, for some reason I can never find things when I do a search .... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3960290/files

Are these the corners that slip into the aluminum screen rails that are usually made for window screens? Of course with the added piece to hold it onto the tank rim on each piece?

thx

These corners will fit the rail you can buy at Home Depot, Lowes...

I did not make one for the regular outside corner, since I bought Red Sea ones from BRS, but I have made a model for an inside corner and a straight double tab with an offset in the middle for going around hang-on-back equipment.

It sounds like you found what you needed, but I could probably make a model for you if you need anything more and send me specifications. From your request for a model, I assume you have your own 3D printer or access to one?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
