Modular & Glue-Less Frag Plug System
Frustrated with messy coral glue, sticky fingers, and plugs that fail over time? This Modular Frag Plug System is designed to make coral propagation cleaner, faster, and completely customizable.
The kit contains 5 different versions of frag plugs, ranging from a rock-solid standard plug to innovative mechanical locking mechanisms that securely hold your frags without using a single drop of glue.
### Key Features & Included Versions
The package includes 5 unique variations tailored to different types of coral frags and growth patterns:
- The Standard Plug: A clean, classic frag plug for traditional mounting.
- The Pin-Lock Plug: Features a horizontal pass-through hole and a matching 3D-printed pin. Perfect for piercing through soft corals or securing branching frags firmly in place.
- The Quick-Click Platforms (3 Versions): These modular tops snap securely onto a base platform using an easy-to-use click system. They are specifically designed for completely glue-less mounting:
- Open Split-Ring: Flexes open to clamp around the base of a frag.
- Crosshair Target Grid: Ideal for wedging unevenly shaped frags or soft coral bases securely into the center.
- Dual-Bar Support: Provides solid leverage points to sandwich and lock down frags naturally.
### Why Choose This System?
- 100% Glue-Less Options: Keep your hands clean and your reef safe from excess chemicals.
- Modular Snap-Fit: The click-on platforms allow you to swap, move, or adjust frags on the fly without removing the entire plug base from your frag rack.
- Printed Pin Included: No extra hardware needed—everything is fully 3D-printable.
- Optimized for Reef Safety: Designed with clean lines and textures that encourage rapid tissue encrustation.
### Print Settings & Recommendations
- Material: PETG are highly recommended for long-term aquarium use. Avoid PLA as it degrades in saltwater over time.
- Infill: 100%
- Supports: Not required.
- Post-Processing: Ensure all brims or minor stringing are cleaned up, especially around the click-mechanisms and pin-lock hole, to ensure a perfect snap fit.
