Hi All,

I have a 10g Nuvo Tank for my classroom and ran into a problem with fitting everything behind the tank in the "sump section".
I built a "model" but would like a nicer one 3D Printed. However, I don't have or know how to use a 3D printer. So I am seeking help. I will pay for all materials and your time.

The idea is that I can still use a bit of mechanical filter floss changed out daily or every other day and if the floss gets clogged there is plenty of room to bypass the floss so water doesn't rise to high in the rear chamber or display section. There have to be holes or slits for water to pass through the bottom and back. The back does not need to have holes all the way to the top though. The holes on the back can be half way to the top and still be alright, I think. There just needs to be a way for water to go if the bottom is clogged.


Here are some pictures and measurements of my model I built.

Harry Singer does some awsome 3D printing and is a machinist as well so very skillful...
 
Were you ever helped with this? I know its been a long while since you posted this
 
What is your model made from? I think this would be better made out of acrylic sheet and glued together. Your model looks like it should work fine if made out of thinner acrylic.
