Bought 2 AP9X for my new tank and the shimmer is quite strong, so I'm ditching one and replacing with fill lights.

I'm willing to trade it for someone who has a large 3D printer, some artistic talent, and is willing to work with me to build part of an aquascape for a 180. Hopefully no more than 10 hours of work total; most of the stuff can probably be done with scaled-up versions of thingiverse parts (likely scaled up so might need to be printed in multiple pieces and glued). We'd probably chat for 45 minutes on zoom/skype/hangouts/phone, then I'll send some drawings and talk about what I have in mind. I'll ship the 9X, you ship the final aquascape, and no monetary transactions involved!

You get 3 of these 4 things:

What are rough XYZ dimensions of your printed aquascape?
PETG (most common material for saltwater parts) has a specific gravity of 1.27 so would sink if solid, but most 3D printed parts are printed at like 20% fill, so would capture air and float, a lot.

Also, 3D printing is generally SLOW. especially at high 'fill rates' ... like a few hours for say.... a 4x4x4" cube, so printing aquascape for a 180 (say something that fills the bottom two thirds of a 72x24x25 space) would take weeks and be very $$$.
