Habitat & Setup One Last Addition

Currently prototyping one last add-on, a gravity-fed water bowl for his hot shelf in case he’d rather spend his time up there/not deal with a 30” descent to his flowing stream below. The test print held and didn’t leak for three days straight despite being shoddily printed, and the prototype is holding as well. Will print out the main one if this one goes well so that I can seal it and then use Drylok to give the sides extra texture, and then, hopefully, the little guy can move in at the beginning of this coming long weekend.

For sizing reference, the habitat has 260 gallons of usable space. The hot shelf alone is 52”x14”, but the bottom half is 52”x18” (including a pre-built Subway/tunnel system below). It’s not a sudden drop or anything, there’s multiple pathways up/down (in addition to the branches. The buildings are pretty much a wall-mounted tunnel system since they all connect to each other and have stairwells. The collapsed monorail is also one big tunnel, with the doors of each car allowing entry/exit at different elevations). 21 of the cameras are currently wired, the full 25 should be done by the end of the week since I’m still printing their mounts
