What Do You Need 3d Designed & Printed (YouTube Channel)

ocpondpoacher · Jan 27, 2021

Hi Everyone,

I just uploaded my second video. This is much shorter due to time constraints and the nature of the project but I have a lot more coming. Please comment and let me know what you would like to me make next.

PS: my new CNC arrives Friday and I can't wait to start adding it to the mix. Custom tank covers and stands anyone

?

Your videos sure make the designing part look easy! Thanks for helping the 3D reefing community learn and grow.

It really isn’t that hard to get started. I just did some of the starter courses (Fusion 360). I spent about 30min - 1h a night for a few weeks and learned enough to make most of what I wanted to.

The CNC/work table is complete. Now I am just weighting for the Onefinity to arrive.

I varied from the original design but I am really happy with how it turned out. I'll be making a YouTube video on the build later this week.

nice Bud I enjoyed your 1st vid. I am interested in 3D printing was looking at one a while back but IDK seems like way over my head but I do like the idea of 3D stuff.

anyway fun to see you build stuff i live through your work

I could use a intank style media basket for a fiji cube nano AIO

I dig your purple mp40 cover looks sick man. keep up the good work.

oh if your looking for more ideas how about filter cups for red sea tanks

Hey OC have you finished the cover for the smart strip

ocpondpoacher · Feb 8, 2021

@Bepis Here is a link to the file. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4754609

I am not very confident it is going to fit so let me know how things go and if I need to make adjustments.

Thanks my dad just ordered a very nice 3D printer for himself so I should be good

Hey Everyone, I published the workbench build. Give it a watch and let me know what you think. Also, let me know if you spot the Rhino and the time he appears.

I just finalized the Nero 3 anemone guard design and got it professionally printed. I am going to test it out this weekend and start putting a video together. I am extremely happy with how this turned out.

Looks like a nice printing, I don’t know how well my lulzbot mini would fare with this though

wanting to make mesh Screen Top Feeding Portal like :

Screen Top Feeding Portal - Neat Aquatics - Bulk Reef Supply
is this possible or have you done the files for one?
or
Screen Top Feed Port V3 – FishOfHex Aquatics

No problem. This will be a fun one.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make these better/ more functional?

I would thing being hinged would be an improvement. At least I wish mine was.

My first thought was a magnetic lid and tube that goes down slightly into the water to make the food sink so it doesn't stay on the surface and go into the overflow.

Also, what should the diameter of the hole be?

Square, Circle, or Hexigone?

reef-newbie-11305 · Feb 28, 2021

either square or circle would be ok
Hex would be easier to secure it to the mesh..... Dimensions: 3.75"L x 3.75"W x .5"H

What does yours look like?

This is both of my lids from top lids. They are stacked and still have the protective coating on them. The feed hatch is on the right with 4 pieces of tap holding it in place. It lifts out.

wow, nice.... so you had a complete lid made to your specs. I already have a lid and just need to modify it, if you know what i mean

I understand. Just saying I think hinged would be a plus, for me at least.
