Yo all,
Looking to start moving some T, s to main homes wanted to know if anyone has ever had their T get stuck in the top mesh of an exo terra? Before I start getting a few.
Cheers for any advice
HiThanks I did think this does anyone know of a decent tank other than these then? I will not have a massive collection but will be looking to have them on show so want glass preferably as it stands out more and is clearer to look through. I am also UK based.
it will damage the tips of the soldering iron.but if you're buying for this job ok.very easy to burn a hole to big.Hi
Im Uk based too.
I did swap the lids of mine to acrilic.
For 30x30x30cm exo terra the acrilic is £7 ,tube of safe silicone is £5(will be enough for 4 enclosures ish) and cheap soldering iron ( very useful item to make holes with)is another £7 and you good to go.The mod is dead easy to do.
I got all bits from ebay.Pm me if you want and I will send you links and acrilic dimensions
Regards Konstantin
Yes its just a cheap soldering iron to burn plastic with.It even came with adjustable temperature from 200°C to 400°Cit will damage the tips of the soldering iron.but if you're buying for this job ok.very easy to burn a hole to big.
I think the problem I had,was adjustable power was 58. And I was making holes in one lot,then maybe different containers,then maybe other ones.so I suppose two hot the some.not letting it cool between.I was doing as I was told.but does do the tip.Yes its just a cheap soldering iron to burn plastic with.It even came with adjustable temperature from 200°C to 400°C
On 250°C 2mm aclylic dont burn as fast as plastic boxes and the tip only makes 5mm hole when pushed trough wich is fine for SA or Adult T that will fit in 30cm cube .
When burning plastic boxes for juveniles and large slings I set temp on minimum and keep switching the iron on and off to get it to melt slowly and is more easy to work with when small holes are needed.
Its true that drilled holes are much cleaner but there is chance to crack the acrylic too.
