you guys using PETG for stuff that gets wet and PLA for stuff that don't?

I use PETG for most things. I have a profile for what I use that works for me and just us the same filament.

The biggest factor is no matter how well you have your PETG dialed in, you'll be hard pressed to get a finish that rivals PLA. So when temperature and submerging the final piece in salt water isn't a factor, my go to is PLA.

Everything else is PETG...

Welp, I have 5 spools of prusament PLA lol. Where and what PETG filament is best? I don't mind paying more for quality.

PLA is fine. I just started with PETG and stuck with it. I like the 3DXTECH brand of petg except the low gloss.

PLA is totally fine. I've had some PLA in my tank for over a year and I cant see any issues (not saying much though).
Use the PLA... instead of cleaning it every quarter just reprint and 'recycle' it.

Hi All,

Any chance anyone has STL files for these plug stands? I’ve been searching on thingverse and other sites but no luck. TIA!

Ty! I actually printed a few of these. Just wondering it the spiral design had any benefits when in the sand. Appreciate it.

The wide base makes it more stable.

Got it and that makes sense. Appreciate the input.

Does anyone here make/sell something similar to the in tank Biocube 32 media basket?

Hey Sam… I’m curious as to the largest size you can print. If I recall correctly you upgraded one of your machines to a larger size. Anyways, I believe the size of the basket @EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal is looking for is 17" Tall · 3-1/2" Wide · 3-1/8" Deep.

16” is my limit. I’d have to carve that part for its size. maybe I skip it.

Maybe I'll just buy the In-Tank one. Thanks, all!

@EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal I am currently working on a design for the Coralife Biocube 32. Not exactly like the inTank one though. It will be bigger and fill up the 2nd chamber so you can use filter floss across the top and put other media in the basket. Maybe even macroalgae.

I attached a prototype of what I am talking about. Still perfecting it though.

Cool!
I'm thinking I'll just diy with Legos and egg crate...
