3D printed a lid for my aquarium

[mpatterson42]

10 gallon tank, I wanted a lid with the specific cutouts for my filters and heater. I tried an egg crate and that worked out OK but I figured I'd give it a shot with my 3d printer. Modeled it in TinkerCAD. Right now it's PLA but I'm printing it again in PETG.

did you glue the center brace together? i see it was printed as 2 pieces. or does the brim/lip of the frame hold it in place, so it wont need glue?

this is awesome!

It's not glued, they're just right next to each other. It's just a tight enough fit and is sturdy enough that it doesn't sag. I thought about making it so it would snap together but decided to go the easy route.

I 3d printed this lid using black netting
