Formicarium rooms and galleries maze style - Big size V.2

thingiverse

I built a larger maze-style nest because my ants are growing rapidly and need more space to thrive. I've had to relocate some of them to a new, spacious nest. The original version of this design, known as V1, was already created, but after printing the first piece, I made significant changes to improve its structure, resulting in version V2. One key enhancement is the ability to secure the top part of the nest to its base using screws. To download the updated version, you can find it here. You can also watch a video on how to print the Nest V1 by visiting this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcYZHpJfgJg. My ants will be moving into their new home, which is featured in another video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbWSs3KgGi0. The printing process took approximately 14 hours to complete. The design incorporates elements from an original creation by caswal, available on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:476168. I've updated the post with photos taken three weeks after relocating the ants to their new formicarium. To my surprise, they have not only grown in numbers but also utilized the extra rooms as a dumping ground.
