AntNest

3D printer file info

3D model description

Cylindrical ant nest with configurable floors and inlets.

The tower consists of an axis with 4 inlets, to be plugged or connected to an extension with a 6-8 hose.

3 types of floor (1-bedroom, 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom) can be stacked and oriented to create dozens of different configurations. An additional pad closes the nest at the desired floor.

Commercial materials required:

  • A section of acrylic tube, diameter 60 outside 54 inside.

ex: https://www.amazon.fr/Tube-acrylique-plexiglass-longueur-transparente/dp/B00A9HEIRK

-A 16 mm diameter test tube to moisten the nest.

-A sponge plug to retain the water in the test tube.

-A fine mesh to be placed at the bottom of the hydration well to ensure that the tube is filled without the risk of ants escaping.

ex: https://www.amazon.fr/m%C3%A9tallique-inoxydable-noxydable-Inoxydable-da%C3%A9ration/dp/B09TVYY88B/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=grillage%2Bfine%2Bmaille&qid=1698264371&sr=8-9&th=1

If the first printing layer of the floors is too crushed, it may be necessary to lightly sand the outside diameter to facilitate insertion around the axis.
