Custom trident housing

[Jonesyg]

I am currently designing a new Trident chassis / housing which will be in a more compact cube format. It will have better reagent hose routing and be a better fit and quality than the standard housing.
I am currently making one unit for a customer but would love to hear if anyone else would be interested in this product to gauge the market demand.

Thanks in advance!

I suppose if you had some drawings or pictures, it might help pique interest.

Can you post some photos? Would love to see what you’re working on.

It is still work in progress and not rendered pictures just screenshots from CAD, but will be a split shell system with a drawer for reagents but the layout will stop tube kinks. ( Hose clamps not drawn as yet ). The original Neptune logo / light will be visible on the front section. Sections will be modular for ease of maintenance.

Choice of colours available and also personalization if needed.

I like the idea and would be interested. A flat top is a huge bonus!

Could the reagent drawer allocate for alternative reagent bottle shapes (i.e., ABC, etc.)?

Yes as long as the overall width isn't wider than the Neptune reagent bottles, I could make inserts so it would be possible to switch between.

Design is now complete, first prototype hopefully ready in a few weeks, then will be taking orders

It makes a huge difference. I shrank mine over a year ago without issue using these files;

I was tired of having to fiddle with the drawer to replace reagents, and the Trident was too loud at night, so I designed a new housing. It works great. Yes it'll void your warranty. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4937145

I like the tray that you're building into your design!

Thankyou, that looks like a cool design, but I want the reagent bottles within the housing. I am making a new one as I am sick of the poor quality of the standard one plus the hoses getting tangled.

That is incredibly cool!
