Can anyone make this?

Looking to have something like this made?

Something to fit onto a standard plastic rimmed tank? Can probably make something to hook onto the plastic rim and hold some plugs and the other stuff for gluing frags.

simple design but a long print time let me know.
I just finished this one, has threads on the back to add a hanger

There is no rim on my tanks. This was just a picture I found. Something to hold the glue and activator as well as a place to out the plugs while doing said activity.

Does that translate to very expensive?

Well... That's what I have at the moment. Will fit over 1/2" frameless wall. Hold 5 large Ocean Wonders aragonite frag plugs which are 1.25 across the top and have a 3/8" stem.
To answer your question on expense. It's a fair amount of plastic and takes about 6 hours to make one even with 2 layers of wall and thin infill. Could cut it down to 3 plugs instead of 5 and that would probably make a descent dent on the materials and print time. I may try that tomorrow as that would take a bit of redesign.

"expensive" is a trick question lol some people buy 1k frags others 10 frags

If your intrested in having something built DM me i have an idea i have been thinking about but I dont like to give my ideas way before I build it. price could range from 50-100, it all comes down to time. I sell power supply mounts for $25 for basic and $30 for carbon

Just an update on where I am at.
Frag plug spacing is good for larger plugs like the Ocean Wonders aragonite plugs and the thicker stem. Plugs were a bit wobbly on cheap cast plugs so I made an insert that will fit into the plug holes and reduce the size for narrower stem plugs. I have not tried printing the whole thing yet but that is next. Strength of the plug portion test print seems sturdy.

Will be working on it today to get the print settings I am happy with.

ok, thanks for the update

Ok think I got it. Decided on a two piece construction for easier printing and modification later if someone wants one for a different style rim on their tank. This one will go on a rimless type up to 1/2 thick wall. Not the cleanest print yet but it's strong and lightweight. Made some slight modifications on how the two pieces connect which will make it easier in the future. Comes with the hole insert to be used with plugs that have a narrower stem than the Ocean Wonders aragonite plugs.
