Hi fellow reefers! Thanks for looking and hopefully I can help you out with your reef keeping needs.
I have a large format 3D printer (450mm x 450mm x 470mm or 17.7"L x 17.7"W x 18.5H) that is capable of printing very large items like light spill shades for your
Ecotech Radion or AI Hydra LED lights and smaller items like brackets to hold your
Vortech controller.

None of the above items are my own creation, but I've gotten very good at taking other designs that exist out there and printing them and modifying them to suit my own needs. So, if you don't have a 3D printer, but you'd like something printed, I can help you out. Expect an item to cost about $1.95/hr for the first 12hrs of printing time, then $.50 each additional hour. Customizations to an existing object and post processing would be an additional cost and discussed beforehand. If you want the item to be shipped, actual shipping costs would be added to the price. If your order exceeds $100 shipping costs will be included in the final price.
I am currently printing items in PLA. Color choices can be discussed, but mostly black, white and gray are what I have on hand. Depending on the application of your item to be printed other plastics may be more suitable. All of my current projects are not submerged in saltwater, just in close proximity.
Example costs:
Vortech bracket - 4hr print time - $7.80 each
AI Hydra Light shade - 25hr print time - $23.40 + $6.50 = $29.90 each
There are a lot of 3D printed items for reefers that can be found on thingiverse and some other reefkeeping websites have organized lists of items as well (reef2reef)
Let me know if I can be of service. Happy reefing!
