In the works!

Definitely tag me when that becomes available. probably @pandaparties too.

Are the magnets inside of the 3D printed rack sealed in epoxy? Or just sealed by the print itself? What plastic is used? PLA, PETG, or ASA?

 

[pandaparties]

Very nice looking, thanks for the tag @StatelineReefer I'll be keeping my eyes out for that 3/4 version!

Looking at the samples I'm gonna say PETG.

PLA degrades too quickly in saltwater.

PLA degrades too quickly in saltwater.

And the website confirms it, and mentions the magnets are sealed.

Slight detour; I keep seeing people say that PLA will break down in saltwater, but I've yet to see it happen.

I've printed a few small items from PLA, like my reef diaper media holders, and they've been in use for a year and they're no worse for wear.

I don't doubt that PETG is the better choice and I almost always use it for aquarium items, just curious as to where the PLA rumor came from and if it's actually true.

PLA is chemically biodegradable unlike PETG, might not happen as quickly as some would suggest but it does break down due its bonding structures.

Interestingly enough in this experiment they found PLA to not be as biodegradable as claimed.

"All other so-called (bio)degradable polymers (PCL and PLA) did not show any significant degradability under tested conditions. Degradation rates of polymers were relatively same in FW and SW"

That matches my anecdotal experience.

 

[StatelineReefer]

I've had PLA products delaminate over time. It takes an awful long time for it to happen, on the order of 3 years, but it happened.

The magnets themselves are fully plastic coated before filament ever touches them. We use PETG for all of our prints that come into contact with water.

the magnets themselves are sealed in a reef-safe plastic, and then they are sealed again by our reef-safe PETG plastic filament
