coyote Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Looking to buy a skimmer stand if anyone has one their not using. Couldn't get my skimmer to work right. So i used an old jbj media basket to raise it up temporarily, skimmer works great now. Looking for a stand that's 10" x12" footprint 2" in height. Figured before I order one online I would reach out on the forum. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyote Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hey Micah I have a red sea skimmer 600 that I need to raise up in my sump 2 inches. I want it to be bigger then the footprint of the skimmer, so I figure 11"x12". If you could figure something out let me know. Thank you for your help if you could design/print one.

Micah Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just now seeing these. I'll see if I can whip something up. My printer can accommodate that size. I'll come back with some basic designs. Does it need to be fancy at all? Holes for the power cord, plumbing, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Maybe some holes on the top plate for the water to circulate under the stand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) How does this look? * note, there's a middle leg for center support. Edited March 10, 2020 by Micah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorW Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'll get it printing asap. Wow that's nice of you [emoji4] can you print nem covers for powerheads? You'd probably need measurements right?

Micah Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I probably could.. but yeah, I'd need measurements and the such. Or, check Thingiverse or Cults3D to see if somebody has already designed one. If you find something you like, let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 In hindsight, I should have made the holes bigger and it could double as a frag rack. Want me to drop this off at CNC? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorW Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 In hindsight, I should have made the holes bigger and it could double as a frag rack. Want me to drop this off at CNC?[emoji50] great job! My husband has been talking about getting a 3D printer but I told him we don't need one but now I think we do, I can think of a few things I could use [emoji848] lol. I looked on those sites you posted for a nem/snail guard for my pump but I couldn't find it, it's not a super common pump like a gyre, nyos or MP40 so I'll probably have to figure something else out. I'll likely settle for those plastic knitting things you get from craft stores cut to size with zip ties for a nem guard [emoji20] you should print these types of things and sell them [emoji2] Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I think I will be doing a lot more of this kind of thing. Get me measurements and I'll attempt a design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
