10x10x14 Mesh Insect Terrarium

No problem at all — I just need a bit of time. I’ll be posting the next updates on Friday–Saturday, 04.04.2026.

That’s so cool! Thank you so much!

I just downloaded the 3MF and opened it in Bambu Studio — everything is fine. If you downloaded only the STL files, then unfortunately it will look like that, because the settings are in the slicer.

First in the slicer: select the mesh object, set Bottom layers = 0 and Top layers = 0, use Honeycomb infill, and start at 25%. After that, it’s all about the compromise between ventilation and bite resistance/strength. Some mantis or stick insect species can chew surprisingly hard, so even 20% infill may be vulnerable for that group. My rule of thumb: 20–25% is a good airflow + strength balance; for smaller but stronger / more “aggressive” specimens I go ~30% and I recommend transparent filament (clean look, still strong). My ideal setup: 30–35% everywhere + a 2mm plexiglass front panel, so you get perfect visibility and maximum strength. If you keep getting a solid wall, the slicer is likely treating the mesh as thin walls/merged features—try scaling the model slightly up or tweaking thin-wall/min feature settings. Also double-check you didn’t enable “ironing” or extra perimeters, and that line width is not larger than the mesh gaps; lowering wall count can help too. Hope that helps!!
