Rimless Biocube Filter Cover

[Kooma]

Lets be honest, the rimless cube looks pretty great. Cables out the back? not so much... I know that InTank makes something similar, but if i think I can make it, ill give it a shot!

I tossed together some Blender learning with some 3d printing and am beta testing this, and so far have the wife approval factor at a all time high! It had to be printed in two parts and some super glue holds the tabs together. Its done a nice job of hiding everything from view including my skimmer, and has cut the tank noise down by a few db.

I may hire your services regarding rimless dimensions... I have one too and have been having a heck of a time finding any items that work properly with the rim removed. I.E. good fitting lids etc.
I think it would be cool to make mesh lid corners/fronts for these since they're curved, 3d printing could be a solution....

For sure an option. It would be best to scan the glass and pull that into blender to build off, calculating that curve would be an interesting way I wouldn’t want to try figuring out haha. I don’t have a scanner unfortunately, but if I get one I’ll add it to my build ideas.

If anyone wants one of these lids printed I can print and ship, you can glue. I can also shorten its height or increase it if you have taller gear. Can add in knockouts for light arms as well.

Biocube 29 Filter Cover by Koomafloo

A filter cover like InTank makes for rimless biocubes or any that no longer use the stock lid. There is no knockouts for light yet, so adjust accordingly. This is build for a XR15 hanging from the ceiling over the tank. If you remix, please give credit.
