Aquarium Hideout Rock by myersma48

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

UPDATE: Added model, "Aquarium_Hideou_Rock_Large Supports.stl, with updated supports. These seem to print better. This should also severely reduce the amount of support material need to print the object.
I needed a hiding spot for a male Molly in my classroom fish tank to hide due to an aggressive "alpha" male molly. So I remixed "Rock 5 - Solid" from the Rock Formations design.
I hollowed it with meshmixer, tweaked it with Tinkercad, reduced the tri count and added supports, to reduce printing time. I am currently printing my test print and it is set to take 21 hrs according to Cura. It is rather large and was designed to fit the Dremel 3d40 build plate. In order to slice for the 3d40 you must resize to 98%. I was a tad off on my calculation when tweaking the model and adding the entrance and top hole for the fish to swim through.
I hope it works out well for you! It's my first upload on Thingiverse.
Oh and I left a tab all the way around the inside bottom of the model to cover with gravel and hold down in the aquarium better.
