Prompt
Generate a solid, watertight (manifold) 3D model of a two-level terrarium hide for a leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) with a ramp. Use millimeters, Z-axis up, model oriented flat on the build plate. Style: natural “rock/sandstone” with a soft, non-sharp micro-texture for grip. BUILD VOLUME - The entire model (or each part if split) must fit within a 220 × 220 × 250 mm print volume. Target envelope ≤ 210 × 210 × 180 mm to allow slicer margins/brims. OVERALL SIZE & LAYOUT - Footprint (base): ~210 × 160 mm; overall height: ~120–130 mm. - Lower level = main hide chamber: internal cavity ~160 × 110 × 70 mm (L × W × H). - Entry arch: ~55 mm wide × 45 mm tall; all edges filleted (3–5 mm). - Upper level = lounging/observation deck: ~200 × 120 mm at ~90 mm Z height. - Ramp from lower to upper level: width ≥ 60 mm, slope 15–18°, shallow cross-rungs 2–3 mm high at 10–12 mm pitch; side curbs (guard rails) 5–8 mm tall. - Ventilation: rows of Ø3–4 mm holes on rear/side walls, ~15 mm spacing, with softened edges. - Removable lid/roof for the lower hide: cap-style cover with positive overlap; press-fit or simple latchless “well” seating (no hardware). PRINTABILITY (FDM, 0.4 mm nozzle) - Wall thickness: 3.0–3.2 mm (3–4 perimeters). Top skins ≥ 5 layers. - Minimize overhangs > 45°. Prefer fillets/chamfers instead of sharp ledges. - Bridge spans ≤ 25 mm. Shape geometry to avoid supports wherever possible. - Provide split version: “base”, “ramp/deck (if separate)”, and “hide lid” as separate parts arranged on the build plane. - Add alignment pins and sockets between parts: pins Ø6 mm, depth 6–8 mm, clearance 0.25–0.30 mm (snap-fit with no wobble). - Bottom: include four recessed feet/pockets Ø8–10 mm (not through-holes) for anti-slip pads. SAFETY & CARE - Fillet all external and internal edges (R = 2–5 mm). No sharp points; no narrow gaps where toes could catch. - Interior surfaces: gently textured but smoother than the exterior for easy cleaning. - Optional moisture tray recess inside: ~100 × 70 × 8 mm, removable insert. AESTHETIC & SURFACE - Exterior: organic rock/sandstone—soft undulations, natural erosion-like forms. - Subtle micro-texture (0.2–0.4 mm amplitude) to improve grip; avoid micro features < 0.5 mm. FILE & OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS - Output as a single clean manifold mesh (or separate watertight meshes per part), scaled in millimeters. - Provide two variants: (1) monolithic model; (2) split-for-printing parts (base/lid/ramp) laid out on the build plate with flat mating faces slightly rebated. - Add an optional underside maker’s mark/logo 0.5 mm tall that does not affect stability. MATERIAL & ENVIRONMENT - Optimize for PETG or PLA in a warm terrarium environment. Avoid thin spikes/overly fine details. Prioritize durability and ease of cleaning.
