- Today I'm talking about the ONE tool that might just be the solution to one of the most significant challenges I face living in Alaska: getting reef tank parts delivered on time. Join me as I share my journey of 3D printing my very first part for my reef aquarium, a thrilling step towards self-reliance in reef tank maintenance.
Choosing the right tools is crucial, so I'll take you through why I picked my specific 3D printer and the type of filament that promises the best results for aquatic environments. I also discuss the sources for my 3D printing files, ensuring that you have all the information you need to start setting up your reef tank with homemade parts. This video is perfect for anyone interested in beginner reef tank fish care or looking for innovative ways to enhance their reef tank setup.
Whether you're just getting into the hobby or looking to expand your existing knowledge on how to build a reef tank, this video is packed with insights and tips that will help you harness the power of 3D printing for your aquarium needs. Don't miss out on how I tackle the unique challenges of reefing in remote locations and make reef tank maintenance easier and more fun!

Wow, now that is impressive creativity on your part. Good luck up there!
Thank you!
Well done! If you ever need any help, dont hesitate to reach out. I got into 3d printing due to it opening up the possibilities and cost saving. There is a large community of people who can help you with print settings. Material characteristics, etc.
Thank you! This is such a cool thing to do! I have so much to learn about materials and printing as a whole, but so far, it's a game changer!
Hey, i have no idea why i landed here, but the most valuable thing when printing PETG is drying the filament. If you dry it for 12-14h at 70C°, you will most likely not experience any stringing anymore. Also don't store it open air, or it will reabsorb moisture in a short amount of time. Since i store petg in modified cereal boxes with desiccant inside and print out of them with a ptfe tube, i never had any stringing problems and so far used around 20kg of it :) If you still have stringing with your super dry filament, try lowering the nozzle temp a little bit, if that does not get rid of it, you can also play with the retract values or use another combing mode, so your nozzle tries to follow the path of your part when moving to another place :) Welcome to 3d printing :)
This is why I love youtube. Thank you so much for this tip. It 1000% works and has made my life so much easier. THANK YOU!
@@AlaskaReef Glad to hear that :) you are welcome :)
