Frag rack that looks like a rock

[Iamnotyourtrigger]

Does anyone have an STL (3D printed design) for a magnetic frag rack that looks like a rock? The current commercial ones are very expensive.

I mean do you want to slide it onto an existing rack or epoxy your own magnets to it? Stl could be generated for either one in a few minutes.

You mean something like this?

Yes, something like that!

Any reason you're against getting a piece of live rock and drilling it?

That's not a terrible idea, but to me the weight may be too much. I plan on using some very strong magnets, but I have some tangs that are curious.

 

[The_Paradox]

Give me a second and Ill see if I get the gist.

Something like this that you can epoxy standard 1 1/4" magnets into?

I've scoured it, but alas, nothing.

Have not printed it but would try:
Supports
Raft
.5mm wall
10% fill

Speed and retraction will depend on your printer. If you want the .stl DM me your email and I’ll send it to you.

I'll s you what I can dig up when I get home if you want more options?

I’ve seen one guys tank where the entire back wall was an epoxy or composite material purchased online .
Applied to the back and side glass and looks like live rock
form it as you want . And even have holes for frag plugs .

In no time it’s covered in coralline

I’ll try to remember the product used

Frag Rocks by drewprice

3D printed Frag Rock for the reef aquarium. I was recently searching for 3D printed frag rocks, and sadly I wasn't very fond of the ones I found. I wanted some more exciting curvatures. So I decided to make my own. These are meant to go in the sand or on a rock. If they are on a hard flat...
