A relatively small 10 x 6 cm ant farm which works with magnets and a small metal filter that have to be bought separately !Plexi Glass or Glass pane on the top required!

with tube connector for tubes with an 10mm inner diameter for the perfect fit.

What you need to complete the Nest:

8 Magnets diameter 5mm height 2-3mm :https://www.amazon.de/K%C3%BChlschrankmagnete-Zylinder-K%C3%BChlschrankmagnete-B%C3%BCro-Magnete-Whiteboard-Magnete-Mini-Magnete/dp/B097MJLY51/ref=asc_df_B097MJLY51/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=565562031298&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14721179653225461265&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9041550&hvtargid=pla-1459361934677&th=1

Glue

10mm inner diameter Tube which connects then to other areas for the Ant colony

How To DIY:

1. get the parts off the Printer
2. use the metal filtering foil and glue it onto the hole at the bottom of the Main Nest, so later air can bring humidity into it
3. Glue 4 Magnets into the 4 0.6mm Holes at the upper top of the nest.(4,5. Get or cut a 10x6 cm Plexiglass pane for later use ADVICE do not use a Saw for this, it may break the Plastic, instead cut with a knife or something else into it and, just crack the needed piece from the Rest. Google it for further explanation)
4. Glue 4 magnets at the exact same position as the 4 in the nest are, at the 10x6cm plexiGlass or glass Pane (would rather use Plexiglass)
5. Place the nest into the small tub that came with it, and test if it fits (if not try scrubbing it a bit down so it gets a perfect fit)
6. Fill the Tub with water before placing the nest on it, connect tubes, cover the nest in darkness and see how the Ants (or perhaps other Insects) discover their new Home :^)
