Ant Test Tube Nest - OpenFormicaria Compatible

I started my adventure with ants this week, and I loved the idea of Test Tube nest from Wakooshi, so I designed similar nest compatible with OpenFormicaria. I marked this project as remix to thanks author of original nest that this formicarium is compatible with.

Dimensions:

• Entire Module: 210 x 70 x 20mm
• Arena Internal: 64 x 41 mm
• Compatible with 16 x 160mm Test Tubes (I tested compatibility for tubes from two vendors).

I tested fit of CV1 version with OpenFormicaria Portal and everything aligns nicely (Printed on PLA with 0.6mm nozzle and 0.3mm layer height).

If my ant colony will grow to big for this nest, then I plan to print open formicaria nest and use this as a feeding station with:

• Water Probe
• Sugar Probe
• Protein Probe

For connectors and different modules please refer to original Schemen OpenFormicaria upload.

Note: Due to height limitation this nest don't have heating cable slot - I will create second version on the future with heating cable slot.

Please let me know in comments if you have any questions or you have any design change ideas. Please remember that this is still BETA/WIP version.
