Default 3D Printing Aquarium Parts

Those of you who've been to my place have probably seen the CNC mill and mysterious electric green box that make up part of my living room decor. That mysterious green box is a 3D printer that is use for prototyping parts

After a morning at work that was somewhere in the area of total to complete ****, I opted to come home early and have a chill day. I was sitting next to my tank watching TV but I couldn't hear the damn TV over my skimmer! My skimmer has always been loud but I've never really done anything about it, until today...

15 minutes in Solidworks and an hour of printing later I had myself a fancy custom skimmer silencer. Skimmer is now whisper silent!

I'll definitely be printing more parts for my tank from now on

And yes, it is printed in bling bling gold
