New Tiny Terras - Mexican Axolotl (FREE axolotl Model!) + Full Tank on Patron 💗
Happy New Year and welcome 2026! 🎉
Thank you so much for the whole 2025 - for every message, every print, every kind word and every bit of support.
Without you, I simply wouldn’t be here starting a brand new year with Tiny Terras. You made this possible 💙
Small fins, big personality...
the Mexican Axolotl is finally joining the Tiny Terras family! 💗
👉 The Mexican Axolotl model is FREE for everyone,
while the full Axolotl Tank is available exclusively for my Patrons 💙
No supports needed - just make sure to carefully read the attached PDF manual before printing.
As always, it includes fun facts in 9 languages!
(My dear Patrons - if you need fun facts in another language, just let me know and I’ll happily prepare them for you!) 💬
The tank comes in two versions:
1 - for larger printers
2 - for smaller printers like the A1 Mini
For my Patrons, I’ve prepared full packs including both STL files and slicer files.
No supports are required, but in some cases a brim can be very helpful.
There are two printing options for the sand base -
you can print it standing upright or lying flat.
Each option gives a slightly different result and a different print time,
so I highly recommend checking the slicer file.
I personally suggest trying the upright print with a brim, just like in the screenshot below 👇

where can I get the file for the tank? I have the Axoloti file
Hi when I click to go to the tank for patrons it takes me to another page and the axolotl isn’t available?
Do you have a file for a printed back? Just a plain wall that would fit where the plexy glass is suppossed to go?
check DM
Is there a file for the eyes or what did you use?
The eyes are printed 🙂 The files are prepared for AMS and already painted in the slicer.
What size plexiglass should we use or is it best to not
It’s best to use plexiglass up to 1 mm thick - you can also use binding cover sheets around 200 microns thick (a more flexible option).
Is there anyway that you can do a little egg with a baby Axoltl for this tank like the previous tanks has?
Axolotls don’t have typical eggs - it’s more like a gelatinous spawn, similar to frogs - so it would be something along those lines ;)
On the Fun Facts sheet it mentiones they should not be housed with shrimp but you included shrimp intended to print with them. Also is there any directions for the net thing ?
Those are mayfly larvae, not shrimps - just food 😉
hallo hab das axolotl gekauft finde aber die fun facts nicht kann ich nirgends runterladen
Es tut mir leid für die späte Antwort - dieser Kommentar ist mir leider irgendwo durchgerutscht. Die Fun Facts findest du im Ordner “! Funfacts & Extras”. Den Google Drive Link findest du im Post, in dem du den Axolotl gekauft hast - nach dem Klick auf den Button “Axolotl & Terrarium”. Wenn du es trotzdem nicht findest, gib mir bitte kurz Bescheid, dann helfe ich dir weiter 😊
Die Spalten sind nicht das Problem habe links und rechts am Kopf ca.2-3 mm über
Hast du es am Ende geschafft, die Kiemen richtig einzusetzen?
Bei mir passen die Kiemen auch nicht. Habe ich gerade festgestellt.
Man muss sie ein wenig hineindrücken - ich verspreche, sie passen! Ich habe das bewusst so entworfen, damit der Spalt so klein wie möglich bleibt.
I'm not seeing where anyone else has a hard time inserting the gills, for some reason they do not fit. I am using a Bambu P1P with AMS and I didn't adjust the size at all. Can you help me?
I'm having the same issue my gills are too small and I didn't adjust anything either did you figure out what the issue was by chance
Hi 😊 I wanted to let you know that the sand plate is unfortunately too large to fit into the axolotl terrarium in the A1 Mini version. I tested it with the A1 Mini print, and the plate doesn’t fit inside the terrarium frame as intended. I just wanted to give you this feedback in case it’s helpful for adjusting the scale or the A1 Mini version in the future.
Thank you so much - this is really valuable feedback. The files are already fixed and available for download. Something must have gone wrong with them earlier, I’m very sorry about that.
I'm an axolotl breeder
I hope you’ll enjoy the 3D-printed version as well 😊
Can someone please tell me how many terrariums are available with the paid sub ...do you only get 3 files in total...or access to older terrariums aswell?
Hey! The number of available models changes over time. At the moment you get access to: Axolotl Owl Hooters Bearded Dragon Terrarium Squirrel Tree Bonuses included: Crackasaurs Vending Machine Crackasaurs Vol. 2 Dino Fossil Puzzle As a Print & Sell patron you also receive a special discount code that lets you buy older terrarium models for a lower price.
will the top with the light fit this cage also?
Yes, it will fit, but you need to print the entire top - both the frame and the lid. The only difference is that the upper back "glass" slot will be a bit wider, because it was originally designed for a printed wall, which is thicker.
Wish I was able to sell this adorable axolotl, in the next months I might have to get the commercial licence for the rest of your amazing animals. :)
You are very welcome to join! The Print & Sell license is exactly what allows you to legally sell the printed models. 😊
Ok thank you sorry for the pm so early
😍
Omg you are the best. My little girl has wanted a real axolotl for so long. The best I could ever give her is 3d prints. Now this is amazing she can have the next best thing. Thank you so much.
Omg this is the cutest!!!!
Thank you!!!
Omg, I need to order so many more colors of filament 😅 We've got a lot of basics to get us started. We are enjoying it so much, we need ALL the colors!
