Ben's 3D printed lid

A few people have mentioned wanting a lid for the water tank. There is a slight gap between the metal legs and the ceramic, where bugs can get in.

Here is a design that Ben Champion made, that you can 3D print yourself.

It is a little tricky to print as the corners can lift off the print bed. This design is correctly sized for Ben's water tank, but there is a bit of variation in the ceramic water tank so its possible that you need to scale it slightly to suit a bigger water tank.

NO 3D PRINTED PLASTIC IS 100% FOOD SAFE. Water droplets will form on it and fall back into the tank so we don't suggest you use this unless you understand the risks.
