  The aqualift gives your fishes the opportunity to explore the outside world.

The concept is well known and there are already some buyable products avaiable. But in combination with a cheap glas vase (IKEA etc.) and your 3D printer you will be able to do this much cheaper and way more beautiful.

 

So the general idea is to use your slicer to create an organic support and print it as a stable part of your model. 

For this I used the bambu slicer and the organic tree support, changed the distance between part and support to zero, added walls to the support and changed the distance of the infill to 0.5mm.

It came out really stable and nice looking. 

As you will have to adjust the model to the vase you want to buy and the aqua tank you own, I uploaded a model just as an inspiration to show the general idea.

The available .gcode can be directly used for the exact same model as in the pictures and is usable with a Vase with an outer diamter of 100mm.

 

If there are any questions left please leave these in the comment section.

 

Best regards

 

P.S. And yes i know these fishes would kill each other^^ Its just they are too facinated to do this.
