Nori Feeder by D3DPT

i will circle back with directions at a later point, the idea is you can build a 50x70 , 100x70 cylinder with a bunch of different cages. i havent printed the diamond one , i moved on from it like a middle school girlfriend , and the super thin one i have printed but i will be honest you will...

i will circle back with directions but can build a 50x70, 100x70, 5x7 plate, 7x7 plate, 1/2" options and 3/4" options (im not 100% sure on the 7x7 but if you put two N52 magnets 60x10x5 on the top and bottom and scale the outside magnet piece out so theres something ridiculous like 5-6 magnets stacked im sure it'll hold on 3/4" because I am literally right there with 2 on the inside 1 on the outside i just havent had time to do 2/2 or 2/3 2/4, etc

i just realized i was missing a plate for the outside magnet on the 7x7 , and a couple of the cylinder cages. there are a lot of options, and it will not cost you much to print them until you figure out what you want

You don’t need to use the housings, but I use them to speed up the process. Take care to ensure your north south magnets are facing the same way. You should be gluing epoxy to the back of the plate, and plastic to the back of the horizontal cage. Negative horizontal expansion values will increase the size of the holes, and opposite. Clips help keep the cage pulling off from extra hungries. File is on thingiverse and I would love to walk through and questions. I used to get this out of the tank, loaded, back in under 60 seconds.

The cylinder version is interesting, I don't know if it could stand up to fish beating on it. I think the lever effect would make it easy to knock off the wall. if it was weighed down and a line leading to maybe an outside attachment it could reasonably sit on the bottom.

Why not just pause the print, insert the magnet and then seal it in with the rest of the print

not reef safe unfortunately and i dont want to mess with N52 magnets flying around my precious printers oh man

i had , out of pure laziness , about 7 or 8 of them that i was rotating on a 125 with a bunch of hungry fish. one in the middle one on either side. i got tired of taking the 4 minutes to load it, and decided i wanted to quicken the process. what do you mean be the lever effect ?

By lever I mean you have a long shape attached at a center focal point. The amount of force needed to dislodge it is tied to the length. So a big fish hitting the end could knock it off the wall.

so in little kid lemonade stand terms what you mean is the magnets would be better off at the top, or the bottom, or one on top and bottom?

Hi everyone, I made a mount for Reef Factory's Flare bar V2 that slots right into my XR15's
Here are stl's if anyone's interested https://makerworld.com/en/models/434152

Anyone know of 3D print light diffuser for Viparspectra lights ? Something like this ?

Light Diffuser for Jump 65W LED

Improved Light Aesthetics, Spread, & Coverage Produces a homogeneous blend of color Improves spread and coverage Includes two diffuser layers for customized results Gives better control over PAR reduction Reduces shimmering and shadows Prevents unwanted light leaks Easy to install clip-on...

Wanting something more to hold a piece of diffuser in place rather than keeping light from bleeding out. I was using magnets super glued to piece of frosted acrylic but they kept coming off.

if you can let me know the dimensions of the light and the relative locations to a fixed point (i like to start at corners) of the cooling parts of the light i can get one out pretty quickly

Anyone have a good nori feeder? I printed one that worked ok but was thinking maybe we could design a better model.

not sure if anyone is around at this point in the night , but i will have a "Nori Feeder Sausage Time" thread here tonight, start to finish how to print, settings , blah blah, it is only what I do, not what you should do. I fully and extremely encourage you to figure out how the pieces will work for you in your situation. you may scale pieces up and down without losing a relative 60x10x5 mm shape to place the magnets, as well as many of the slicers being premade with a measure tool, and if not you can buy an add on. dont sleep on doing a significant amount of your work in the slicer. they are wonderful tools. would it be preferential as its own thread or a single comment on this post, i am currently printing the pieces and should be built over the course of the next second all nighter of this week now
