🫧Aquarium Bubble Wall

Simple, effective, and modular bubble bar for your aquarium. Designed to be printed in two parts for easier cleaning and customization. This model includes two size options: a Short Version for smaller setups and a Long Version for a full-width curtain effect. This air stone alternative provides a beautiful "curtain" of bubbles to improve oxygenation and aesthetics in your tank.

🛠️ Design Features

• Short & Long Versions: Choose the size that best fits your tank or combine them for custom layouts.
• Two-Piece Design: Easy to print without complex supports and allows for better internal cleaning if algae or minerals build up.
• Standard Air Tube Connector: The inlet is sized for standard 4/6mm aquarium air tubing.
• Low Profile: Easily hidden behind plants or under substrate.
• Print-Ready for PETG: Designed specifically for PETG, which is water-safe and durable.

🖨️ Recommended Print Settings

• Material: PETG (Highly recommended. Do NOT use PLA as it biodegrades over time in water).
• Infill: 100% (To ensure it doesn't float and is airtight).
• Layer Height: 0.16mm - 0.20mm.
• Supports: Minimal supports needed for the air inlet connector.
• Wall Loops: 3-4 for a solid, airtight shell.

🧪 Assembly & Safety Instructions

1. Bonding: Use a pure Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) to join the two parts. It is reef and fish-safe once fully cured.
2. Curing: Let the glue dry for at least 24 hours before placing it in the tank to ensure all fumes are gone.
3. Preparation: Lightly sand the joining surfaces for a better mechanical bond between the PETG parts.
4. Weighting: If the bar tends to float, you can bury the "wings" under the aquarium gravel or suction cup it to the bottom.

⚠️ Disclaimer

Always monitor your water parameters when introducing new 3D printed objects. Ensure your filament is "Pure" without toxic additives (like some glow-in-the-dark or specialized "industrial" blends).

Enjoy your new bubble curtain! 🐠
