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

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...www.thingiverse.com
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

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 printYou don’t need to use the housings, but I use them to speed up the process.

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?

Anyone know of 3D print light diffuser for Viparspectra lights ? Something like this ?
www.bulkreefsupply.com
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.
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...

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

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

Any suggestions for an “adequate” 3D printer?

you will receive 18 million 453 thoushand and 69 answers. find someone who you can see what they have made with a printer they make it with. ask them about it. they will tell you what they like about it and what they dont. i shall go first.
tonight i went to micro center for my , now seemingly weekly 7:53 trip so I can make it there by 8:53 to have 7 minutes to grab another printer. I purchased Ender 3 V3 KE , which I will not be buying any other printer until I stop liking this one. It is easy to put together as long as when you are attaching the U shape to the part that sits on the table, it will have a little black piece you have to put through the little hole thingy. do that, and have your wife or someone sit there and just hold it and DO NOT PULL OR TOUCH ANYTHING , you need to hang it off a table so you can attach the little black thingy to the other little black thingy. then there is one taped on the back left, un tape it , match the two little thingys on top to the two on bottom and push it in to the what I "think is the y axis motor, but it is on the back left and it is silver. back right is fine. three screws will hold in the frame on either side. tighten one lightly. tighten the other side the same. tighten first side tight. tighten second side tight. tighten third side very tight. we are no longer "leaving them loose" because these printers are now so efficient they fly around and shake your computer screen while you type this unless you have a nice stable table to work from. go to menards they are 179 and you can fit up to 5 printers on one. I only have 4 because at this point i cant keep them all printing what they need to print.
$255 - you do not need to buy a different bed, hot end, anything if the 100% reason you are purchasing your hobby asset is to use it for the hobby. if you want to print white dogs with brown eyes and know literally nothing about the settings, pay 1200 for a printer that will print your two color eye ball dogs, and you can afford it, the bambu people will surely plead their case.
my case is i spend 255 on a printer that i have chosen. what i believe, a quality company that has the proper financial and more importantly ethical current stance on what they believe the hobby should be all about. it may have taken them until about February of 2024 , but I will be the only person that says dont sleep on a creality printer if you want to make fish tank things

to be extra clear
1) attach black thingy
2) tighten screws to what I think is "gantry" but the U shape
3) then do the plugging in of your motors
MAKE SURE IF YOU LIVE IN THE GREAT STATE OF AMERICA you switch to 115 on the back or you will have to maybe go back to micro center not that i ever figured that out the hard way
