Timeshell Twist Formicarium Modules

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

Here's a new connection method I'm working on for formicarium modules. These modules will be 3/4 to 1 turn screw on to connect modules. There will be a nub at the top of the screw to align and lock the modules when screwed together.
3/8' OD flex tubing should also just fit directly into the female TS Twist connectors.
I have designed, but not yet tested adapters for compatibility with "Many Formicarium" connectors. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2377968
Test tube adapters are still being designed and tested. 12mm tubes tested. Test prints are being done with PLA. The fitment of the connectors may not be the same with different plastic combinations.
This project is now in beta development stage. Exisiting components as of December 31, 2019 should be working.
I appreciate any tips towards my work.
