Whether you're a hobbyist, a botanical artist, or a nature-loving designer, this terrarium offers a sleek and functional enclosure to showcase your living creations.

Material Compatibility & Print Guidelines

The terrarium is optimized for 3D printing using ABS, SBS, or PLA filament.

These materials are chosen specifically for their non-toxic properties, ensuring they do not interfere with plant health or microfauna.

The structure is designed for easy assembly and durability, with clean lines and precise tolerances.

Dimensions & Structure

Overall size: 120mm tall × 200mm wide × 100mm deep

The design consists of six interlocking panels, forming a rectangular prism with a transparent window system.

The frame is engineered to accommodate 3mm thick acrylic or glass panels, providing optimal clarity and a snug fit.

Window Template & Laser Cutting

Included in the download package is a DXF file that serves as a precise cutting template for the terrarium’s window panels.

You can take this file to your nearest laser cutting service to produce the transparent inserts with accurate dimensions and clean edges.

The 3mm thickness is essential for proper sealing and structural integrity, ensuring a professional finish and minimal air leakage.
