He may be here. We've talked printing on my other one and his though.I don't know if @Projects with Sam is following along on this thread so I'll invite him! Sam, welcome to Marshall's little tank build.

I believe VCA (Vivid Creative Aquatics) might make a return vfg for 3/8.I have everything set for this build except one thing: the return nozzle. My issue is that as far as I know, no one makes a return that would fit on the 3/8 tubing I have. I could print one, but I am not good enough to draw it, or even resize it. I did recently discover the "advanced settings" on the slicer, so there may be a solution there. I will keep hunting. IF anyone has knowhow feel free to let me know.
In other tank news, the 40 and 15 are becoming a 120 when I get it plumbed and the rock cured. so there's that. Increasing water volume and decreasing the number of tanks in my house (currently 10 wet) feels nice.
checking on it now. thanks!I believe VCA (Vivid Creative Aquatics) might make a return vfg for 3/8.
Print everything.I haven't heard back from vivid yet about the size of the connector. I can probably make an adapter if needed, so I will likely get off my lazy behind and buy the nozzle. Or I will get off the same lazy behind and get a new slicer and resize the nozzles I found on thingiverse, just doing the whole thing myself and saving $20+ shipping.
I may also swap out the corrugated board with a printed overflow, because why not?
For a nano?Print everything.
Actually I just found schematics for a printed protein skimmer on printables yesterday.
The problem with print everything is I then have to learn to draw. an overflow shouldn't be hard though.Print everything.

Agreed, print everything!Print everything.

Printed overflow is what I am waiting for my brother to complete since I don't have my printer yet! I've been waiting on an upgrade for my work desk tank from a 30B to a 40B with overflow and 30g Tall sump, but I've had delays with my brother getting the overflow parts printed. For some reason, he considers other things more important priorities, such as getting married, buying a house, starting a new position at his job, etc.I haven't heard back from vivid yet about the size of the connector.

I'm not sure a 30b would fit on my desk. At least not with any left-over work space.Printed overflow is what I am waiting for my brother to complete since I don't have my printer yet!

...hopefully over the holidays, I can get the parts finished.
Fusion 360? I couldn't find the free for hobbyists' version, so I got the free for students' version. I found so many things I didn't know I needed that I now own. Like a pocket hole jig and dowel center finder. I am printing rock stands so I don't have to worry about my scape when I set up the 120. There are also roses on thingiverse that you could print her to smooth things over.I need to break my wife down and buy the Ender. Then I can teach my daughter TinkerCAD and the other one you and @Projects with Sam use so she can design my stuff for me for projects and get school credit! Two birds, no stone?
For a nano?
Do i try to scale it to fit?Print everything.

I vote yes!Do i try to scale it to fit?
Protein Skimmer by Auhuber
Protein Skimmer for my Nano Reef. Works Fine. Print in PLA Snap thogeterwww.thingiverse.com
I wonder if it's a skimmer?I'm currently "not allowed" near the printer because hubs is printing something for me. No idea what.... But he said it was going to be like 3 days of printing to get all the components.
No idea but he got some pretty cool filament and I think it's for whatever it is. Looks copper from one angle and like a gunmetal/silver from the other.I wonder if it's a skimmer?
