Frag plugs, Frag plug sticks, LED Shade, a feeding ring, Shelves for in the cabinet, Overflow baffle (fish too small), Adapters, Random flow generators... honestly its endless.. The best part i like is designing my own things for my own needs.. You're gonna love it..

Also, get a bambu lab printer.. The best..

Yeah, just a matter of finding a file or designing something custom. I’m actually in front of my printers right now.

Absolutely! It’s perfect for reefing gear. They have an awesome sale going on right now too.

I am on Bambulab Makerworld too, and upload some designs there for free.

Just hate when my daughter picks out some intricate 4 color deal and the model uses less filament because there is 5x more the poop lol

Frag racks, pipe standoffs, frag holders, cable trays, light mounts, rails, filter AIO covers, shelf’s, dosing tube holders, you name it.

I just made these to replace the old ones that get plugged up with algae. My sps frag tank doesn’t have an overflow, just two pipes into the tank. I designed these because the ones you can buy online are too flat and plug up easily. These keep fish and snails from ending up in the sump.

I was thinking to get Bambu Lab P2S combo or Creality K2 Pro, and start with AMS shades for my radion :D

I use the multi-board grid system, and then I've modified and printed holders for:

• Hana checkers
• Drying rack for the cuvettes
• Holders for pipettes
• Food bottles

A host of other things - super useful for sure. My cabinet for my 3d printer is right next to the tank - one side of it (not shown) has filament and a bunch of storage printed for calibration fluids, chemicals, etc.

I've also printed shades for my lights to reduce spill. dosing line holders and a few other things.

My current project is a roller mat system. using 50 micron industrial coolant paper.

but i have done custom frag racks, rfg nozzles, overflow boxes, skimmer inlet funnels,

Avoid the Creality. I've had them and to be frank, they just don't work unless you spend a week adjusting them before attempting. I trashed it and got a Bambu and was printing 15 minutes after I took it out of the box. Amazing printers!

I've printed the usual stuff but just found a random flow generator nozzle to print, so I'll be using that with my current project.

I second this.

I have been printing on the same creality cr-10 for 12 years. Been a good machine but its takes a lot to keep it running. New ones are probably easier. got a bambu at work and it just prints. works great, no fuss. will retire my old cr-10 if i have to many issues printing my roller mat system
