3D Printing

Below are various 3D models for filament based 3D printing that our lab uses.

Models are provided as .3MF mesh files so they can be directly opened in a slicer.

How to Print

End caps for egg collection tube are printed with 95A TPU filament in vase mode. Increase the perimeter width to 0.7mm, still printable with a standard 0.4mm nozzle.

There are three files, one for each tube size. These caps are longer than the normal kind to allow for deeper petri dishes.

How to Print

We use these reusable partial plates to collect eggs for injection while saving on petri dishes and media. The smaller side is filled with media and placed in a egg collection tube.

Print with PETG or other temperature resistant filament. No supports needed the lip on the divider helps to prevent the media from falling out.

How to Print

We use these reusable small area plates for overnight maintenance of collection tubes. The lower amount of food decreases the amount of eggs laid overnight and saves on food cost.
