Aquarium Moss Shelf / Bed

This model is a simple aquarium moss shelf, which can be considered (adult) Betta safe.
 

Update : 

By request added multiple hanger dimensions - everything is placed on a separate plate for better navigation -

You can find this under a new print profile called : New - Multiple size version (5mm and 12mm wall)

The old print profile with the original version is also available

 

Modifications in the new profile:

• 5mm aquarium wall thickness - long and short version (The long is 50mm longer)
• 12mm aquarium walll thickness - long and short version

Moreover added 2 additional Bed sizes 

• A longer version - Roughly 30mm added length
• A longer and wider version - Roughly 30mm added length and 12mm added width
   

It is a fairly simple print, with only around 12g of filament used. The main idea was to create a moss shelf, where a Betta fish can rest, but it can be used universally. 
Betta fish can be curious, but sometimes also dumb, so there is a risk that they end up getting stuck in decoration. Because of this the holes in the shelf have a diameter of 5mm, which according to online literature can be considered safe in case of adult Bettas. 

Important to note, that for aquarium use PETG is recommended, however from what I could find, regular PLA (without additives, or special attributes, like PLA+) could also work, except some color combinations, which could still leech into the water after some time. 

Since I had no suction cups lying around, I designed this model with simple “hooks”. This model is optimized now for 5mm wide aquarium glass, however I can make different versions in case you would need it. The depth of the shelf is around 117mm. (General dimension of the shelf itself is 50x100x2 mm)

After printing out you just need to simply insert the hooks to the shelf itself, but in case you have a problems with this, I would advice to use a needle file around the connection point. 
This is how the model should look like after assembly:



In order to secure better functionality I advice to use a tiny blob of superglue between the hook and shelf in the cutout area, as is illustrated on the following picture:

After you are finished with the assembly, you can attach the moss itself. For this I simply cut some moss pieces, and pulled halfway through the holes. I roughly put moss in every second hole, which can be time consuming, but you will get better results to start with.

In case you have any remarks or recommendations please feel free to reach out and comment.
