New home for C. versicolor

[Jeremy-psychonaut]

Made a new enclosure for my C. versicolor sling. I’d appreciate any input on improvements I could make

Looks very good to me.. A versi sling will be happy in there

I legitimately love the enclosure. Did you add the vent yourself?

Thanks I’ve been experimenting with different containers. This one has come out the best.
I added the vents to both sides and back it had the big screen one in the front
I ordered a better solid vent for the front but it hasn’t come yet

What are you using to make the hole for the vent?

I heated up a roofing nail and melted them
I didn’t have any drill bits small enough most of my tools are in my work trailer at a job site
One of the improvements I want to make is be more precise in the hole placement and make the holes look cleaner
I’m going to invest in a Dremel tool I have 4 more of these I need to make

+1 for dremel tool.
I got a battery powered one for £15 and is been so handy especially for sling pots ventilation.
My second best buy after my hot glue gun.lol

[Konstantin]

I’m looking at them online right now $96.00 that’s not bad at all for some reason I thought it would be more
Thanks for the idea much appreciated

I found it in a bargain isle in a Supermarket by accident and it turned out to be a proper good tool.
But for the price I paid wasn't that arsed if it was not tbh.

 

[Konstantin]

The smallest drill bits (0.5mm)wear a bit quicker but a good replacement set won't cost much too in order to get nice clean holes.

I can’t believe I haven’t bought one of these tools yet

What bits do you use?

 

[Konstantin]

Hi
standart HSS drill bits with various diameter as required by the size of the spider(usually from 0.5 mm to 5mm)

[Konstantin]

The dremel I have takes 3mm maximum as bigger drils dont fit.
