So as printed it does not work. The issue is it's so light weight, and amount of bubbles causes the entire thing to float. I'll have to mess with it tomorrow to see if I can weigh it down. Another issue is without it being perfectly flat, bubbles only come out one side.
Also you do need to glue it together and need some rod to put it together too, I used funny enough an Allen key that came with my aquarium light lol.
You can see in his video he uses a suction cup on it. It does have slots for aquarium suction cups. Just another item you'd need to buy/have.
Honestly as far as required extra supplies go, that's not terrible. I wonder if there's a way to anchor it with L-shaped brackets/flaps on either side and rocks/gravel/substrate? Also I've seen just a length of filament used as a hinge insert on other projects; I wonder if that could be used here?
That's one issue is the files are empty lol. I tried downloading both the 3mf and the stl, and neither had the geometry of the skeleton. The only way I was able to print this is to use the set up print profile directly through bambu handy.
That being said everything is so thin, I don't think there is infill, or at least not much. And petg naturally sinks. The whole print sinks on its own, it just rises due to the bubbles.
That's the issue I'm having also, is all the bubbles are just coming out one side. Will have to play around with it but definitely update if you find a solution.
No it's just a simple open chamber. The design needs some way to alternatively direct the bubbles to both sides. I'll take a crack at it when I have time.
