Spiral Tower Ants
Print Profile(5)
Description
Hello everyone,
Here is my model for a spiral tower for ant keeping, it serves to bridge different heights of the individual containers and simultaneously serves as a pathway extension. If someone is looking for a model purely as a pathway extension, I recommend my other variant:

Various end caps with differing numbers of inlets and outlets are available; each spiral is always 10cm long and these can be extended as desired. For each tower, you need to print two end caps, at least one spiral, and a top closure piece. The design was created for a 50mm acrylic tube, which you then need to cut to your size. It is best to assemble all components and then measure. If necessary, you can also glue the individual parts, but if everything is assembled, it usually holds well enough.
Here is the link for that: https://www.acrylic-store.de/acrylglas-rohr-xt-flc-50mm-wl.html
Base supports and a wall mount are also available. Have fun printing; I would be delighted to see pictures of your creations.
I have added spiral pieces from 1 to 9 cm to adjust the tower more precisely to a specific size.
The diameter of the pathway connections is 20mm
