That's likely easier

That's exactly what I would suggest.

You want something done quick, all the lazy one. We find the easiest way to get it done.

So umm , xf250 mount... I can send someone a mount to try to duplicate.. it would be greatly appreciated and I'm willing to pay. Please and thank you

Hi anyone have a file like this zoa plug rack. This one the plugs don't come out and I'm not computer literate to edit it.

zoanthid frag plug by asevimli

Coral frag stones. I designed to make corals multiplyIf you are cutting zoanthids from another plug or grow out disc, you can use coral cutters. First, using the razor blade, slice the tissue around the zoanthid polyps that you want to frag; then using the coral cutters trace along the line you...

The easiest way, if you have the plugs printed already, increase the size of the holder. If they're really tight, go to 103%, if they're just snug and won't come out without tugging go to 101% or 102%. Alternatively, as suggested above go with 98% on the plugs.

If you pay for shipping to AZ, I can easily do it...

Can you provide more details?

What printers are y’all using? I’ve been looking into a 3D printer to get into it and make cool little stuff like this but I see a lot of options and not sure what a lot of the stuff means lol. Any recommendations?

Anycubic vyper. No issues yet, bigger print platform.

Sorry if I missed it, but has anybody came up with a wetside mount for maxspect xf250(gyre), the part that attaches the magnets to pump. I broke mine when removing to clean and they are discontinued now:-(

I'm not familiar with xf models. Are they a silicone rubber?

@Sisterlimonpot
Mount is 2 parts, with tabs for rubber attachment of magnet. On one side I broke one side of the "groove" for motor to slide into, the other side I broke the end that cups the end of propeller cage(all in one drop). I can measure with micrometer, I can mail broken mounts, I can mail mounts with pump- whatever you think is best. I'm open to complete re design. The ice cap and red sea gyres seem very similar but don't stabilize the end of cage or use 2 magnets, I would like to retain both. Function is what matters. If it's ugly, I'll just use it in the corner behind a rock pile. I refuse to toss them both and redo controller mount because current models are incompatible and already have 3 pumps worth of spare motors, bearings, impellers etc. Let me know how to proceed, thank you sir!!

Would you say that’s a good first printer to learn with?

I got it as a gift for Christmas 2 years ago. I was able to jump in with minimal knowledge. It's nice since it has auto level. I've seen many upgrades for it but have not had to do any.

this?

Zoanthid by Idontknow124

Got the idea from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4653240 , but made this one from scratch since that one was broken. The plugs from that one will also work on this.The top should fit onto the bottom somewhat snug, but I'd still recommend that you superglue them together.I also made a mushroom...

This might work thank you. i like the other one the plugs have flat sides that touch for less space between the plugs.

The link has a file for the plugs and a file for the base with plugs inside that are not removable. its one piece.

I just looked at that and thought the designer simply saved the part with multiple bodies, but he/she didn't. that's weird...

The design is extremely simple, give me a few minutes and I will make a top and plug that fits that cup.

Thank you your amazing.

Thank you your amazing.

Here you go.

The top should fit the same, and the bore holes have a 0.6mm clearance from the pug shaft. the Plugs are slightly resized to lessen the gap (0.4mm). Not sure it that will be too tight when pulling everything apart. But you'll see.

Thank you so much I'll print it when I get home.

I wonder if the original designer made the tolerances tight so that the plugs didnt float away. Printing everything that will be submerged underwater at 90% petg will lessen that likelihood.

If I were to truly remix it, I would change a lot of the design and make it more practical.

I've considered a complete redesign of a similar concept, I've just been too lazy working on other projects.

I finally (6 months later) made my first update to the top post. I think I added all of designs that people linked to. I haven't organized them at all, but one step at a time...

I also added these that are of my own creation:

• Apogee MQ-510 PAR Meter Sensor Holder
• Ecotech MP40 Honeycomb Guard
• Ecotech RMS Shim
• Inkbird Aquarium Heater Controller Mount 306A-WiFi US plugs
• Maxspect Jump SK Series Protein Skimmer Controller Holder
