Test Tube Replacement by Pedr0Kaz

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a diferent version of an original design by ByFormica.
I did the model from scratch and made a model that wastes very little material, optimized to minimum volume and it prints just over 2 hours at 0,2mm layer height.
I have a queen there that i cought 3 days ago and she is laying eggs already, so it works like a charm.
The piece has 3 chambers in the middle wich can be filled with cotton and later impregnated with water.
Steps Are :
1) 3d print ->
2) cut acrylic to size,
3) drill 3 holes for chambers
4) glue acrylic
5) insert the queen ant through the big hole.
6) Close both exit half-holes with cotton.
7) Pour water into the holes, impregnate cotton.
8) Put a cover to block light and the queen will lay eggs in 2 to 3 days.
