Hi everyone 👋


I’m fairly new to the 3D printing hobby, but I already have a lot of friends and fellow reefers who’ve asked if I can design and make different parts and accessories for their reef tanks.

They recommended that I create an account here on Reef2Reef to share some of my work, get feedback, and hopefully help others who might be looking for custom or practical 3D-printed solutions.

Even though I’m still new, I’m designing, printing, and testing new things almost every day. I always try to test my designs thoroughly before sharing them.

I’ll be uploading all of my designs to MakerWorld. I’d really appreciate it if you like some of the design, download it, please leave a comment and i would really love if you could give feedpack, rate it and put in some comment :)
Looking forward to being part of the community!
Make it obvious in the name , and please give a heads up under your reef name please😀
 
Hi guys,

Have not been much of a update for some time now but have been really busy with work, familiy and alot of other 3D pritning stuff.

I have just added 2 new models that maybe can help people out:

ATI Straton X Power supply Holder:

And simple but smart holder for people that got the new Straton X and want there power supply organized!

EcoTech Marine VorTech Power Supply Bracket:


I have only made the design for Mp40/Mp40QD right now but Mp10 and 60 is coming soon :)
 
Been working on a project for some time now for a friend but also for other aquariust that i know like to frag corals.


After some time in the saltwater aquarium hobby and hours spending cutting corals and making frags i have never quite found a setup i was happy with.

There was always water on the floor, glue on surfaces where it definitly didn`t belong, and coral leftovers in places my wife certainly hadn`t approved. meanwhile, im just a man doing hes best hehe.

Fragging is such a big part of reef keeping, but constantly moving corals in and out of the tank can quickly turn a simple job into a messy operation. after one to many frustration sessions i decided it was time to sit down with a friend, sketch some ideas and design my own solution.

The station hangs over the aquerium glass and provides two separat working areas:

Dry zone: A dedicated space for cutters, tools,glue and other supplies you want to keep dry and within easy reach.

Wet zone: Holes hold you frag plugs while the surrounding flat area gives you somewhere to place freshly cut corals

I`ve also added two hooks for towels or other handy accessories, so you can dry your hands without searching for towerl halfway through the job.

To accommodate different aquarium glass thicknesses, i`ve designed inerchangeable glass adapters that fit into the mounting brackets.


I hope you guys like it :)

THIS is killer!!! Innovating a fragging station is thinking outside the box!
 
That is pretty awesome! I'll have to print this when I get some time!
Thanks :) feel free to print it when you want! and if you have some issue please contact me here or on makerworld and i will assist!
 
An aquarist contacted me several months ago asking if I could design a feeder specifically for Copperband Butterflyfish, or other quiet and slow-feeding species, at this time i did not have a printer but it was in my mind when i got it!. He had previously tried keeping three Copperbands, but unfortunately lost all of them because they were unable to compete for food and did not get enough to eat.

After researching existing solutions, gathering inspiration from others, and refining the concept, I ended up with this design:

Copparband Magnetic Fish Feeder

I can see that my designs are being downloaded, which I truly appreciate. If you have some spare time, I would be very grateful if you could leave feedback and rate the products I create — it really helps me improve future designs 😊

I just came across this thread. I don't need one but this one is sweet being able to select different hole sizes. The one I had allowed most of the food to come out.
