Local libraries offer 3d printers for use. Although IDK with the pandemic issues if they're still freely available for use. 

Really? but wouldn't it take a long time to print the formicarium? also, what would they think if you printed a box, asked you what its for and you say ants lol

 

Haven’t you already been given that look by strangers when your searching/catching queen ants? Every time I go out to catch wasps/ants there are people who look at me like I’ve gone mad. lol

 

Everytime someone walks by i make sure to look like I'm doing something else

hahahaha social awkwardness ammiright

 

I usually am after things like wasps and bees which can easily fly away so I just have to ignore the people lol

With the out world or without? Either way that is a pretty good price

great price. I will definitely look into one of these if testing goes well.

[gs5248]

Same here. If testing works out, I think I might get one of these. They look pretty nice.

Also made a tiny version

love the tiny version, but maybe make the base a bit bigger? like keep the size, just add a large base, so that it won't tip and fall if you accidentally hit the test tube?

interesting. So that means you make the housing part circular and wider, so that there can be multiple founding queens?

That 'tiny version' looks pretty cool!
