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 printers2 - 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 👇

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!

Kimberly

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.

Hector CID

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. :)

Anna Orcutt

will the top with the light fit this cage also?

Kidz Kreationz

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?

PrintyJay

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.

PrintyJay

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.

Kidz Kreationz

Thank you soooo much !!!!..Happy New Year

PrintyJay

You are very welcome to join! The Print & Sell license is exactly what allows you to legally sell the printed models. 😊

I'm an axolotl breeder

PrintyJay

I hope you’ll enjoy the 3D-printed version as well 😊

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.

PrintyJay

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.

JoLee

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?

PrintyJay

Man muss sie ein wenig hineindrücken - ich verspreche, sie passen! Ich habe das bewusst so entworfen, damit der Spalt so klein wie möglich bleibt.

Peilchen‘s Bunte Kiste

Die Spalten sind nicht das Problem habe links und rechts am Kopf ca.2-3 mm über

PrintyJay

Hast du es am Ende geschafft, die Kiemen richtig einzusetzen?

PrintyJay

Alles klar, ich schaue mir das an und versuche etwas zu verbessern - ich möchte ja nicht eure Daumen auf dem Gewissen haben 😉

Stephanie Monk

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

PrintyJay

Hey! Those gills will fit into the slot - you just need to press them in firmly and try at a slight angle, so don’t be afraid to apply a bit of force. The idea was to minimize the gap as much as possible. However, I can see that quite a few people are having trouble with them, so I promise I will redesign this part - unfortunately I don’t have the possibility to do it in the near future. There is also an option to print the whole head with the gills as one piece. Thank you so much for your patience and I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.

JoLee

I got it to work!! thank you and it looks great. You just have to start at the bottom and then firmly push. I'm always afraid I will break them but it worked perfectly once I did it correctly. Again thank you, I love this design

VR6TUNER

hallo hab das axolotl gekauft finde aber die fun facts nicht kann ich nirgends runterladen

Nathan Cross

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 ?

PrintyJay

Those are mayfly larvae, not shrimps - just food 😉

PrintyJay

The net files shouldn’t be there - they were added by mistake. They will be properly refined and included later with an aquarium set with fish, where they actually belong.

PrintyJay

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 😊

Nathan Cross

Ha thanks! Cant Wait to see the Aquarium set! I'll be patiently waiting!!!😁.

Misty

Is there anyway that you can do a little egg with a baby Axoltl for this tank like the previous tanks has?

PrintyJay

Axolotls don’t have typical eggs - it’s more like a gelatinous spawn, similar to frogs - so it would be something along those lines ;)

May

What size plexiglass should we use or is it best to not

PrintyJay

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).

John Jerde

Sorry, trying to figure out what top I would print for this if I wanted to have lights?

Dottie Yeager

Is there a file for the eyes or what did you use?

PrintyJay

The eyes are printed 🙂 The files are prepared for AMS and already painted in the slicer.

Repti-AmandaS

Do you have a file for a printed back? Just a plain wall that would fit where the plexy glass is suppossed to go?

Ellie Brooks

Hi when I click to go to the tank for patrons it takes me to another page and the axolotl isn’t available?

Jennifer

where can I get the file for the tank? I have the Axoloti file
