So, generally I just glue mesh to the top of my formicaria, however where can I get my hands on some nice vents, or sieves that look good? I don't have a 3D printer, but is there a place to buy this?

Also, if anyone here wants to make a buck, I am willing to let anyone with a 3D printer make me something like this. We can discuss the details via private message. I need alot.

what's the point of these?

 

IIRC my printer can't print lines with a gap between them smaller than around .8mm, so that's too big for most ant species

If it were me I would go buy a couple of reusable coffee filters and cut the screen out for use.
