Summary:
A simple, functional, and clean design for keeping your test tube setups organized. Whether you are starting a new colony or managing multiple founding queens, this feeder provides stability and prevents the test tube from rolling around.
Features:
Anti-Roll Design: Keeps the test tube securely in place.
Easy Access: Designed to allow quick checks of the water reservoir and the colony.
Minimalist: Uses minimal filament and prints fast.
Modular: Perfect for small setups or as an addition to a larger outworld.
Print Settings:
Material: PLA (PETG recommended if you have high humidity in your setup)
Layer Height: 0.2mm
Infill: 100%
Supports: None required
Perimeters: 2-3 walls are sufficient for structural integrity.
Post-Processing:
No support material cleanup is needed. If you feel the fit is too tight for your specific test tube, a quick pass with sandpaper on the inner edges will do the trick.
Happy ant keeping!
