Dear Patrons,

It's been a bit quiet here from lately but the next few weeks should see some more exclusive content.

I've been busy preparing for an ant keeping project with my youngest primary school projects. To make this as easy as possible, I turned to 3D printing to be able to create my own custom design. It featured a humidity creating under floor area, and sliding trap doors to open up new areas as the colony expands.

Do you think it is worth making a proper YouTube video about? Please let me know.

Michael

Yes great project! Here in the Pacific Northwest our backyards are natural ant farms! Hehe. If you you find you need a good resource for any keeping, check out the YouTube channel AntsCanada. Amazing channel, narrated by an amazing host. TONS of information. And to answer your question, yes... absolutely worth doing a video on!

Ron Floyd

I think it's cool. Not for me anymore, but interesting, and would be great for some. Thanks!

Asger Vestbjerg

Looking as a interesting project, so yes, please show your workflow 😀👍

Stephen Cross

Yes please very interesting subject.

Hey there, I'd love to see a vid on the ant farm project!

Tom Stone

Yes this is great content - I have a 3 year old so this is the sort of stuff I want to print when she is a little older

So cool! Would love to see different material used, integration of the glass cover and how everything is sealed up. Also wonder how exactly those sliding doors are constructed.... for sure worth a video,

Mike Phelps

Practical application of 3D printing a video? Absolutely. Interesting about plastic and concrete from m1kta....makes me think of the glass filled PLA I have from MakerBox. Guessing whatever fill percentage glass or carbon fiber would help but wouldn’t be as effective as glass.

Anything that shows some practical uses for 3d printing is a good idea. Seems all I even print are parts for for the printer itself, and benchy's. ;)

bitsplusatoms

Yes, that would be an interesting video.

Michael Earls

I would love to see this. I've never kept ants, but I've followed your other videos, so maybe now I will...

I've kinda wondered how ants would deal with an environment with PLA structures. Would it be easy for them to break down or would they leave it alone. I'm sure it would depend on the species.

Tom Stone

This was a great video - but the price of ants was shocking
