Ecotech vortech anti sand dune / glass plates

[shiftline]

After getting tired of sand dunes and seeing bare spots in the tank I decided to do something about the undertow of the mp40's and ended up designing this plate to block suction from directly below to limit the sand bed dunes!

Thanks

Look like you already got your tarachula figured out. I am still printing and throwing stuffs away But got loads of upgrades coming in which should make it a solid printer.

It was many hours of buggering with it but I think I finally got it figured out. I test printed some Kiteboard fins last night too. Needs a few more tweaks but getting there


And a brine shrimp hatchery base!

Nice

I am waiting on the aluminium brackets; broke the z right one and currently running the piece on three wheels instead of four.

Glue it in place and print your self some new ones
