Ideal for aquascaping 🏞️, nano-tanks or the creation of elegant green surfaces, this 3D grid helps you to sublimate your aquatic settings 🌱💧.

Technical Tips for 3D Printing

3D printing recommendations for foam grids

This grid has been designed for printing with a 0.4 mm nozzle, offering an excellent compromise between precision and printing speed.

Materials :

PETG recommended excellent durability, water resistance and adhesion, ideal for aquarium use.
The PLA can work, It's less durable and suitable for damp environments. It will disintegrate
And why not TPU!

Layer height / quality :

0.12 mm or 0.16 mm Thin layers provide better detail and a more even surface for easier foam adhesion.

Tray adhesion :

Brim recommended This limits warping and ensures that the grid remains flat during printing.

Additional tips:

Print slowly (30-40 mm/s) for optimum precision unless you have BOSS-level control of jerk, K, acceleration, etc., or you own a state-of-the-art printer.
Limit retraction to avoid threads on small meshes.
For PETG, reduce cooling slightly to improve melting between layers - without disabling it altogether.

By following these settings, you will obtain a solid, precise and durable grille, perfectly suited to your water feature.
