I shrank my Trident

Dude that looks amazing.

Are those 1/4" push connect fittings on your DOS? If so where did you score those?

Yup, followed this short guide on YouTube;

This is absolutely sick! Huge fan! This will definitely save me a chunk of room in my extremely constrained current build. I will need to line up the bottles different, but that's no big deal!

I have a tray design like this as well if that would help...

How much would one of you charge to print it for me? I hate the design of it and it had to sit out because I don’t have the room for it under my stand or in my cabinet!

I can print you one. What color? All white? White with a silver base?

Has this quieted it down, ad you hoped? Does your design "seal" the unit more, or maybe the thickness of the material change the harmonics? I wouldn't be against throwing dynamat from my car at the interior faces.

it is quite a bit quieter, especially the whining sound of the pump. I used to be able to hear it all over the house at night and now I can’t. Yeah my original plan was to line the inside of the box with poron foam for more sound deadening but I don’t think it’s necessary.

Honey I shrunk the trident. Very cool. Definitely if anything loud or keeps you awake. Has to get fixed imo.

Do you have a two part file. This is to big for my printer

I love this! Nothing destructive to the Trident at all, and if you want to go back to the OEM case it's totally possible. It doesn't actually save that much space, but I got tired of the dark grey 'window part' constantly falling off, and the fiddly tray potentially falling out while replacing reagents.

I also created a mountable shelf/tray that can be found here:

I just now stumbled across this…. It sounds amazing! So far I haven’t pinched any hoses but with my vision it’s only a matter of time. Reading the initial post about reducing noise and then reading later about dos fittings in the background….. has anyone given any thought to a sound deadening dos housing? Even a multi dos housing?

That is sweet. I dont own a trident but this looks faaaar better!

I love it! Possible to get a copy of file? I’m up in Canada

 

[Lps_lover12]

I really want to do this, how hard is it to do? Do you just pull the factory cover off and put the new one on or do you have to move stuff around?

 

[Matt1997]

I would just buy one already printed if that’s an option and we can work out payment

 

[Rimsky]

Love this. I would like to buy one printed.

If you would like to pm me I have recently been printing lots of reef stuff and we may be able to work something out…

 

[Northern Flicker]

That's slick, nice work.

I wish I was brave enough to do that!! Does anyone sell these 3D printed parts anywhere? I have bought a fair bit of Etsy and eBay- never seen one of these around though!
