Aquarium Plant Stem Weight
Created 1 months ago
Description
What it's for
This flat, disc-shaped weight anchors live aquarium plants into the substrate. The design features a narrow side-entry slot that leads to a slightly wider central resting hole, allowing stems to be securely trapped without being crushed. It is ideal for newly planted aquascape stems that have not yet developed a stable root system.
Dimensions
- Overall footprint: 25mm in diameter and 8mm thick.
- Entry slot: 2.5mm wide, running from the edge to the center.
- Center hole: 4mm diameter clearance to accommodate typical aquatic plant stems safely.
Remix ideas
- Increase the overall thickness to provide more anchoring mass for highly buoyant plants.
- Widen the entry slot and center hole to accept thicker stem varieties.
- Change the outer shape from a cylinder to a square or hexagon to pack multiple weights tightly together in dense planting zones.

4-Way Water Manifold
A compact, print-in-place water manifold built for automated plant irrigation systems. It splits a single main feed into four independent channels with smooth internal transitions to minimize flow restriction. Inlet: Single center-mounted fitting sized for 8mm ID hose. Outlets: Four equally-spaced fittings sized for 5mm ID hose. Barbs: Dual retaining ridges on all connections to prevent slip-offs under pressure. Internal Channels: Fully hollowed 7mm common chamber with spherical transitions to eliminate dead zones and sharp fluid corners.
4-Way Barb Manifold
Hoses slipping off a plain tube is a guaranteed flood. This 4-way manifold uses aggressive, precisely sized barbs to bite into soft tubing, routing one 8mm inlet into four 5mm outlets. Critical Fit Inlet: 8.2mm main shaft, 10mm max OD on three barbs. Outlets: 5.2mm main shaft, 6.7mm max OD on two barbs each. Flow: Internal bores are necked down to 3mm on the branches to preserve wall strength, expanding to a 16mm central chamber. Print it base-down. The horizontal barbs are short enough to bridge without supports if your part cooling is dialled in.
Compact Offset Duct Adapter
A parametric, FDM-printable ventilation duct adapter connecting a nominal Ø100 mm round duct to a 200 × 60 mm rectangular duct. Round Inlet: Ø101 mm internal diameter, 30 mm deep Rectangular Outlet: 201 × 61 mm internal, 30 mm deep Offset: 25 mm vertical centerline shift Wall Thickness: 2.4 mm (constant, pushed outward) Total Length: 210 mm (150 mm transition) Both ends are female sockets designed for a slip fit over existing plastic ducting. The loft provides a smooth internal airflow path with no steps or constrictions.
Halo Drip Irrigation Ring
This is a low-profile, continuous-loop irrigation ring designed for automated watering systems. It distributes water evenly around the base of a plant without interfering with the stem. The structure is engineered specifically for FDM printing without supports. The internal hollow channel features a teardrop cross-section so the printer can bridge the ceiling cleanly, and the external hose barb includes a small, built-in support block connecting it to the build plate. Design Notes Dimensions: 197 mm outer diameter, 173 mm inner diameter, leaving a 12 mm wide profile. Inlet: Dual-barb fitting sized for 5 mm internal diameter tubing, pointing outward to keep the hose clear of the foliage. Distribution: 12 downward-facing 1 mm drip holes spaced every 30 degrees, beginning 15 degrees offset from the inlet to ensure the first drops don't pool at the connection. Mounting: Three low-profile tabs sit on the outer perimeter, drilled for standard wire pegs to anchor the ring into the soil.
Eccentric Duct Adapter 125mm
A robust, high-flow duct adapter designed to transition a standard 125 mm round bathroom exhaust duct into a low-profile 220 × 90 mm rectangular flat channel. The design features a pronounced vertical offset to navigate tight ceiling or wall spaces without compromising airflow. What it's for This part connects two dissimilar ducting systems. It is strictly female-to-female, intended to slip over an existing 125 mm round male pipe on one end and accept a 220 × 90 mm flat duct on the other. The 72.5 mm vertical offset is specifically tailored to align the flat duct closely to a wall or ceiling plane while maintaining the round pipe's original centerline. Dimensions Round Socket: 126.5 mm inner diameter, 30 mm deep (includes a 1.5 mm entry chamfer for easier fitting). Flat Socket: 222 × 92 mm internal dimensions with 5 mm corner radii, 30 mm deep. Overall Dimensions: 220 mm total length, maintaining a continuous 2.4 mm wall thickness. Offset: Centerline shifts vertically by exactly 72.5 mm over a smooth 160 mm internal transition. Print notes Print this model standing upright on the round flat face. No supports should be necessary for the interior loft, as the transition angle is steady and fully convex. PETG or ABS is highly recommended over PLA for HVAC applications, as the exhaust air and environmental moisture can deform standard PLA over time. Ensure your slicing profile is set to completely fill the 2.4 mm walls (usually 3 perimeters depending on nozzle size) to keep the assembly watertight and structurally sound.
Eccentric Duct Adapter
An FDM-optimized structural adapter for mating a 100 mm circular duct to a 200 × 60 mm flat rectangular duct. Designed entirely through lofted profiles, the core internal geometry preserves precise clearance offsets before applying a constant outward shell. Continuous S-curve loft: Matches horizontal slopes at both sockets to eliminate turbulence edges. Built-in offset: 25 mm vertical eccentricity pushes the rectangular trunk higher than the round inlet axis while maintaining horizontal symmetry. Constant wall: Outward geometry maintains a uniform 2.4 mm thickness down the full 220 mm length of the part. Integrated chamfer: A 1.2 mm guide chamfer at the circular entry eases assembly of tight-fitting duct sections.
