Summary

Small planter box for fish tank. Print in PLA/ABS/ASA (absolutely NO carbon or glass fiber filaments in the tank!) with no supports if you have enough cooling for the small overhangs.

The model has two small sealed hollow cavities for neodymium magnets, used to mount the planter along the fish tank glass. See pictures. The planters can be moved around by moving the outside-the-tank magnets, to allow for glass cleaning, rearranging, etc.

The file with the name containing "6x3" is for 6x3 round neo magnets.

The file with the name containing "8x4.75" is for...8x4.75 round neo magnets!

To insert the magnets, pause the print at the appropriate time, before the tops of the cavities get sealed up (check your slicer for which layer is the right place to pause). Insert the magnets and resume the print.

It is a good idea to seal the magnets with nontoxic epoxy or similar before inserting, but if the print is done well they will sit in a waterproof compartment.

Disregard the sloppy print quality in the photos...I printed these in a hurry at 400mm/s in PLA. The model is fine. :D
