Aquarium feeding ring with suction arm
A feeding ring stops flakes drifting into the filter intake and concentrates food where slow fish can find it. The ring is 80 mm in diameter with a 10 mm tall hollow rim 1.2 mm thick so it floats, joined by a 40 mm arm to a 20 mm cup that accepts a standard suction cup stem of 5 mm. A 1 mm fillet on the inner rim edge prevents food snagging, and PETG or PLA are both safe once rinsed. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Create a floating feeding ring 80 mm outer diameter with a hollow rim 10 mm tall and 8 mm wide using 1.2 mm walls, a 40 mm arm 6 mm wide, and a 20 mm diameter cup 6 mm deep with a 5.2 mm hole for a suction cup stem.
Fit notes
SpeakCAD sizes the ring for your tank and your fish's appetite, so you are not stuck with a ring too large for a nano tank or too small for a community set-up. Widen the arm to reach past a rim brace in the chat and preview in the browser before downloading.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
