Thats pretty good :) yes before i moved i was getting +/- 0.1. I'm pretty sure binary should be fine. Keep up the good work:)

The last time I used solid works im certain it was a simple as export and the select stl from file types :) but im a complete noob and only designed a tube for 16/22 to 13mm filter hose:) No once you have drawn the cad its good to go. FYI max part size would be 180x180yby 100z mm

Hello mate. You almost certainly can help. Unfortunately i have recently moved home and have not set up my printer yet but I will with time. I have to use .stl only. Let me know what you come up with :)

Ok thanks for your method I will have to try this. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks big clown. I have an improvement from the plants since the outbreak after I changed to the inline diffuser and my tmc mini tile is at 15% I have new growth on all of the plants. I guess I should keep it this way for a while and may be adjust things as I go? I have some liquid carbon from...

I will have to try that. Use it like a spot application I suppose? Does it affect fish etc? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Oh really.:) as in hydrogen peroxide? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello I'm after a bit of advice. I'm used to wiping larger leaves of brown Algae every week or so but my Monte Carlo has the same problem but the leaves are so small does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean them? I'm sure the initial problem was high light low co2 but I believe I have...

Some quick I pad pics and a few updates. I have tidied up the hardware in the tank and install and inline atomiser. Also I removed the plants at the back and added a different one and more Monte Carlo to help pack out the carpet I'm trying. It was supposed to be a mixed carpet but the hair grass...

Some Update Pics and just playing around with SLR I have removed the plant at the back and moved some high growing glossostigma elatinoides i dont seem to have much luck growing it. it just grows up rather than out. Anyone have any ideas on how to get a better carpet with it? Also the...

Thanks for the link they look good!:) where is a good place for clear filer tube? Andy

Hello guys a few new pics for you! Everything is growing fantasticly! I just had a hugr trim as all the plants had grown almost to the surface! As you can see there is a bare patch in the front left but I think that is because the soil is too shallow so the roots wont take. I will try and add...

Hello brancaman Yes it is a shame that the hill had collapsed . I put some under gravel bracing in but perhaps without much experience i did not utilise them properly. Perhaps bigger rocks would be better but i am a bit reluctant to change at the moment due to the amount of work required in...

Wow i could not have hoped from imput from anyone better. I have been admiring your tank for a long time and it is simply stunning! I did think about some twigs with moss on but I have never had much luck with moss it just tends to die off on me no matter what! I also lack a good eye for...

Thanks mate :) i need to do some better pics with the slr actually. The plants are growing super fast! And the tank seems to be growing/changing all the time!:)

Thanks Londondragon nice to see someone likes my attempt:)

Just a quick update All equipment in, plants i,along with cherry shrimp :) struggling to fight off surface scum. and algae from the silicone. Im generally happy. Opinions from everyone good or bad will be great!:) thanks! :) Andy

Hello Toofunky. I dont know about the best thing so far but i did print the bust of warmachine a few weeks ago. I could do the rest but not had time. There are some more examples on the other link. Sorry to side track from the subject. andy

I like your idea of making some new housing. I broke my inline diffuser only the other day. Z corp printers are pretty cool but the components i have seen are not that durable and would be not be water tight. They are great for visual models but not convinced on how good they would be as a...

Hello this is interesting and will be happy to help. By the looks of the pictures the printed parts should be east to produce. Im not sure i fully underetand how the device works but if we cab decide on a design/size we would like to replicate i would be more than happy to have a go printing the...

I will take a look thanks :) i have not had much success with the diffuser but may be this is achievable! :)

Thanks for the tips wallace :) they are great ideas!:) there is something about silicone/plastic this strange slime loves it!:(

Hello guys a quick update i have had everything running since the 18th but a keep getting a white slime/sludge appear specifically on the rubber suction cups and in the corners of the tank in the silicone and lots of surface scum that builds up over the week aswell. Never seen/had thid before...

I did see the prices but as you say toatally worth it :) although you can find some good deals on our nations favourites auction site :)

Thanks Ian for the info very useful and informative I will play around with some different bulbs first as a cheap test and then go down the led route. Pinkmummy79 I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem :) kind regards Andy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's all very interesting but I think it's rather out my capabilities. I wonder if there is a easy way to convert the hood to some l.e.d's? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello ian_m thanks for the imput thats interesting. Thats the kind of thing im looking for but not being an electrician how easy would it be to implement that into my current set up?

Hello Clive thanks for the reply thats a good suggestion! :) i have taken out the reflectors also. Yeah they are the standard 39 watt t5s. Your idea is good as any i think i will go for it as it is a cheap change :) its a shame there are not types of dimmers for fluorescent tubes.im not sure if...

Hello guys as the title suggests i have the above tank with the supplied t5 bulbs and fittings etc but i am of the opinion that the bulbs are a bit too bright or i would at least like a bit more control over how bright they are. Does anyone have any suggestions. Kind regards. Andy

[/IMG] Hello guys just a small update. Filter finally arrived. Fluval g3 and so i finally got around to filling the tank. I had some 13mm eheim filter pipes so used these for better scale. will hopefully change to glass at a later date. As of yet i dont have a heater but was thinking of getting...

Hello julian thanks for your advice I was thinking the same thing and have seen people use them and was thinking of added something similar in the form of cut up milk mottles :) thanks jamie that was my top priority! I strengthened the cabinet in several ways to make sure I.e some 2inch by 1...

Oh know!:( thats what I was going to get are they good?how do you find the light on a timer?

Thanks :) 45 pence would be a challenge! Thats a good point. I did originally have it at the back as in the first picture but then I decided it would be best as you suggested on the left, but I still think I will need to add a dimmer.

Hello guys just thought I would introduce myself. My name is andy and have been interested in aquatics and fish keeping from a young age, ever since I saw my grandads fish house as a child. So not new to fishkeeping but new to plant keeping I discovered this forum and set myself the task of...

Thanks jack12 .I will have to come up with a design and go from there :) your idea is similar to what i had in mind. If anyone else has ideas then feel free to add. A Larger collection of ideas will be a benefit :) Thanks Andy

Hello. My home printers can produce within +/- 0.1mm its not high tolerances but good enough for my uses.The ones I use at work are similar tolerance but better definition due to lasers as apposed to fdm extruder. Most prints have a good surface quality but as with any layered process build...

Hey guys this is an interesting subject. I work as a rapid prototype technician and I have done for 8 years and it was just the other day that I was thinking this. I also have two home built 3d printers at home and access two 6 sla machines and two sls machines at work and as such 3d printing is...
