3D Printed Biosphere Project AKA Project Hydrolife
This projected started this mourning well I has looking for a water pump at a pet super market. I did my usual. Looked at the fish played with the
ferret and looked at the fish. I started thinking about a cool way to use my new 3D printer to make a interesting fish tank.
I started thinking about 2 litter bottles and how I could use them to make a neat aquarium. I got home at 5pm and started to a computer to design it.
The idea is to have a main junction where 5 bottles and be joined to gather to make a large modular aquarium. There is a cube that is hollow, on every
side excluding the bottom there is a port for a 2 litter bottle. When the 5 2 litter bottle are added and the top bottle is cut so that it is in the
form of a opening in the shape of a funnel water and small fish, snails and plats may be added.
In future versions bubblers can be added and places where plants roots can be inserted into the aquarium to feed the plants and clean the water. Here
are the pics of the design,

and water to the desert. Where there is fear we bring curiosity.

I considered the oxygen problem and I could put in a bubbler .

Here is a new design I am printing at the moment. This will be my second print because the old one had a slicing error.
