1. Do you have any reefing gear that was 3D printed? I currently use the @Kraken Reef filter floss cups on both my Cube 20 and PMini 15 and absolutely LOVE them!
2. Have you ever 3D printed your own aquarium items? I don't own a 3D printer but if I did I absolutely would be printing my own stuff!

I've had a great time designing 3D printed parts to solve my own problems and customer problems. I mostly sell through my Etsy shop but a lot of local reefers come to me when they need something figured out. Very rewarding and very fun!

I’ve got an old Robo3d R1 I’ve been thinking of firing back up after getting back into the aquarium hobby.

Not Actual Reef gear, but I do have a 3D printed logo for my back panel... Just to make it a bit more personal.
No i am patiently waiting for it to get covered in Coraline...

i own a printer (very new to it though) and ive made a few things. i have to get some setting right, but i think the future of reefing is 3D printing. much more economical.

on a side note what is a good entry level printer?
I had purchased 3D printed aquarium parts online from a source, but have not printed my own. I did recently purchase a creality 3d printer but seems that folks don't want to share their designs. I am willing to pay for them but still no go. If anyone has a source that will share their 3d files, please let me know.

I am using 3D printed filter sock holders, dosing tube holders, Di resin funnel and tamper. Oh and a mushroom cage. All made by @FishOfHex

I'd skip entry level and just go to top of the line, less issues and you'll want one quickly

RFG nozzle. I had some tubing clamps that I purchased but they were trash and all broke fairly quickly. Also one of the RFGs came to me broken, so I was kinda put off on how frail the stuff I did get was and stopped buying printed items.

Currently using a 3D printed frag box as we speak!Did you know you could print your own reef gear or have someone else do it? We even have a new forum just for it here. Today I was thinking about 3D printed stuff and was wondering how many reefers are actually into this or have gear that was 3D printed! Let's talk about it!
1. Do you have any reefing gear that was 3D printed?
2. Have you ever 3D printed your own aquarium items?

Did you print it yourself or did you purchase it?A shade for my Hydra 32. I love it since I sit next to the tank. It was shining in my eyes before I put on the shade.
