Description

This is an aquarium surface skimmer. It uses small suction cups from the local craft store and a small USB powered pump from Amazon. The top is long to accommodate a fmall piece of filter sponge if you want.

The filter plate will need a smaller extrusion width or it will fall apart. I used 0.2mm on my 0.4mm nozzle. Simplify3D said not to do this but it seemed to work just fine.

The tolerances will be tight but should work fine. You may have to remove blobs though.

The specific pump I bought is currently unavailable but there are several other USB powered pumps that appear similar. The one I got was https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWXV7DE
