3D Printed Screen corners

[mb165]

I've had a window screen cover for a while but I've never been happy with it since it's easy for it to move around and I've always been worried that a fish or myself would leave a corner with just enough room for a fish to escape. So, when I got a 3d printer, I designed some corners to replace the standard window frame corners.

I like the screen sitting on top of the tank(keep it as far away from the water as possible) and this prevents the screen from moving around. I can share the stl file if anyone wants to try it out but it's a really simple design.

That's pretty slick...nice job.

Could you post the files to print them out? Our local library gives us access to a 3d printer for free and I'd love to print a few of these for myself.

Creative and practical. Like it!

Ciao,
what material do you have used?

PLA is ok?

I've heard that PLA will break down over time, but ABS should be safe (be careful though since some of the dyes/coloring can be toxic)

I used PETG but PLA should be ok, it's not touching the water.

What a great idea!! I need to find a 3D printer near me to I can make a few sets of these!!
