Betta Fish Aquariums! 🐠✨
We’re continuing the fish theme as it’s slowly getting warmer! ☀️
You can mix and match so many beautiful color variations of these little fish - and since you get 3 different small aquariums, the combinations are endless! Betta males are quite aggressive, so they’re usually kept separately 😉 Small aquariums can also be easier to sell.
Important about the “fake glass”:
Dimensions are provided, but rigid plexiglass won’t work here because the front of the aquarium is curved. Don’t worry - flexible transparent materials work perfectly!
What you get:
Betta fish files in STL and 3MF - 3 versions to customize as you like (bettas are famous for their amazing colors!)
3 different aquarium interiors (STL + 3MF)
Fun facts in multiple languages (if you’re a patron and want your language added - just let me know 💙)
Important notes:
In some cases, it’s worth using glue on the build plate and a brim for better adhesion
After printing, make sure to permanently glue the fish’s head to the body - even though there is a connector allowing movement, it should be fixed in place (fish don’t move their heads like that 😉)

Are the Betta Fish Aquariums available as a Standalone Purchase?

Any tricks for getting the hownwort plants to print? I've tried supports, adding a 8mm brim and they always get about a 1/4 to 1/2 way done and break free. Cleaned my plates, tried both hot and cold ones, different filament but nothing is working. Thanks for any suggestions.
Hey, I’m so sorry - I don’t know how I missed your question! Did you manage to print the plants in the end?
I can't get the aqua 3 plant to slice from either the stl or the profile. It keeps telling my the bottom layer is missing. I have tried with and without supports enabled.
Hey! Could you tell me which slicer you're using?
trying to cut the glass. The measurements in the document don't seem right...?
Is the problem with the front glass?
Where can I find the download for the tank decor like the seaweed, snail shell, and sand?

i would love a turtle tank to go with these
Do you mean a separate turtle tank in the same style, or using this one for a turtle? 😊
just joined for the betta!! is there a way to download the whole thing to a plate w/o having to get each piece individually?
Hey! If you use the 3MF file, you can easily load profiles with everything already arranged - the models are prepared and pre-painted for printing. You can still adjust the settings to fit your needs, like print quality or colors. If you’re using STL files, just select all of them and drag them into your slicer. In this case, you’ll need to set up all the colors from scratch, but the rotation is already correct - that’s the intended printing orientation.
These are so cute, I’m new how do members download these please
Go to the “Current Models” post - there you’ll find the download links for the models 😊 There’s also a subscriber discount code in case any model from the shop catches your eye!

What color filament are the fish?! I absolutely love the colors

Is there a way to have the fish as one piece and not two?
hmm - it wont be a good print - lot of overhangs :(
I adore these!!! I really hope you will consider some frilly goldfish, oranda and black moor in the future. Any kind of fish aquariums are cool.
A bigger aquarium will be for sure ;)
are you doing more fish aquariums? if you do you should make the snails people sometimes buy to eat algae on their aquarium windows
yep big one :) next month I think
LOVE IT!!!
Love these!!
These are so cute =)
