This replaces the stock intake tube on a Fluval FX4/FX6 aquarium filter to add on a surface skimmer.  I did about 10 iterations of the float portion to get it sized and floating correctly so it stays at surface.  Been running in my planted aquarium for few weeks now and has really cleaned up the surface film and debris (or at least collected it in spot i can easily grab it).  I just printed it in plain black PLA.  I did the tube on its side and the intake standing up.  The small cover is optional.  Could glue it on but i just set it on top.
