3D model description

Update: (2024.Jan.24):
Added a Dry Hide and Bridge to the Wet Hide water dish combo (fits a small vivarium). Now your Gecko has a larger domain to roam and hide.

Added a new zip file containing the STL files for:
- Dry Hide with no bridge connection
- Dry Hide with bridge connection
- Wet hide and water dish combo with removable top floor for easy wet pad replacement
- Bridge between dry and wet hides.

STL files are located in "Dry and Wet Hides with or without Bridge.zip"

If you want only the Wet Hide + Dish combo, use the "Small Gecko Wet Hide Removable Top.zip".

Updated Description (2024.Jan.12):
Dive into the gecko luxury lifestyle with the Gecko Deluxe Spa
Crafted with precision, this spa is gecko-approved, featuring a corner fit for maximizing terrarium space, a no-hiding-spot policy for crickets and worms, and dual entrances for a water walkway experience! πŸšΏπŸ‘£

But wait, there's more! 🌟 The water dish is separated, keeping it pristine, and the design conserves filament usage.

Update (2023. Sep. 21): I have added three different hides for you to choose from:

  1. The best in my opinion can be found in the file "Small Gecko Wet Hide Removable Top.zip".
    When you need to change the wet pad, simply take the top off. My Gecko likes this hide the most!
    The only thing you need to be aware is that the upper part requires support, but that is not a a lot and is easy to remove.

  2. A variation of this Hide can be found in the file "Gecko Hide - 4 Levels - Snap-on, No Support Required.zip". Same design but no support required. All pieces are snapping together.

  3. If you want a larger hide use the file "Gecko Hide - 3 Levels - Large - Glue Recommended.zip".

Original post (August 2023):

The crickets like to hide in the commercial wet hides, where they find all kind of crevices.

In case you have a small gecko or bearded dragon, or a small terrarium or a small printer... this is a great variation of the best wet hide +water dish combo your pet could get.

The full size version can be found here:
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/gecko-deluxe-spa-wet-hide-water-dish

This model has the same features as the original:
1. Can be place in the corner of the terrarium to minimize lost space
2. There is no place for crickets or worms to hide
Geckos can use both the inside to hide or use the wet spa and the outside to climb
3. The water dish is attached, but separated from the spa, so there is no contamination possible
4. There are two entrances. One of them allows the gecko to walk through water (we know that they drink water by licking their fingers when wet), facilitating better hydration.
5. Currently this hide is perfect for small terrariums like 10 or 20 gallons. If you need it smaller or bigger, let me know.

The height of the steps in this version is only 22.5 mm (less than 1") to encourage your small pet to climb.

For $2 you can personalize it with the name of your Gecko or Dragon. Let me know if you need that.

3D printing settings

As described above, only the first design needs support.
For the snap-on version, no supports is needed if you print the 4 pieces to be assembled. They snap into each other, but if you want you can glue them with superglue. They are fitting in each other nicely. Depending of the material you will use, a brim might be necessary to prevent warping.

The 1-piece model is also included, but you will need supports to print it.

No problems with 0.2 mm layers, 15% infill.

The material I printed (Bambu Lab Silver PLA) was quite challenging. I had to reduce speed to 50mm/s for levels 1 and 2 (Bambu Lab P1P). White PLA could go at standard 200 mm/s speed.
