arboreal tarantula hide

prusaprinters

<p>This was an experimental fake cork-bark tube for my arboreal pet tarantulas.</p> <p>On the side of the base, you will find a stand/holder for a bottle cap for water.</p> <p>I applied a layer of "aquarium silicone" and covered it with peat moss to look realistic "please ensure it is aquarium silicone and it must not contain a fungicide component found in most silicone"</p> <p>I used PLA perhaps safer for your tarantula/s, ensure all sharp parts are smooth for your tarantulas safety.</p> <p>Tarantulas sometimes like a second entrance, that is the purpose of the side hole - the hole should face to the back - where light does not shine into the hide.</p> <p>I currently have 3 set up, 2 with p.metallica and the 3rd with a c. versicolor 2 more for my p.irminia's in the pipeline all tarantulas webbed the hides and look like they are comfy.</p> <p>Make sure if you can that the filament has not been sprayed with pesticide "perhaps chasing a fly?" and use a non toxic adhesive /glue stick or use a raft if unsure about the bed adhesive.</p> <p>Unfortunately i have to mention I can not accept responsibility if something happens to your beloved tarantula - mostly due to an unforeseen ingredient in e.g a glue stick for example.</p> <p>apologies for the long story print with normal pla settings layer height of .04 crazy fast may lead to some / minor? imperfections on the overhang on side entrance</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Pics are from the same print, that was done crazy fast at .04mm on my ender 2</p> <p>print with normal pla settings layer height of .04 crazy fast may lead to some / minor? imperfections on the overhang on side entrance</p>
