Aztec Stone Face 3D Background

Ready to use, install or paint. Your piece is 3D printed in your chosen filament colour and supplied unpainted. Enjoy it as it is or paint it to create your own finish.

An Aztec-style 3D terrarium background shaped like a massive stone temple facade, heavily inspired by pre-Columbian architecture. It gives the terrarium an archaic, mystical look, like a forgotten temple ruin in the jungle.

Details

• A striking Aztec-like stone face with angular features, geometric shapes and a symmetrical layout in the centre.
• Arches, steps and block structures that look like ancient temple ruins.
• Detailed stone blocks with irregular edges, cracks and levels, forming many ledges, niches and small caves.
• Steps and ledges for climbing, perching and hiding, which encourage natural behaviour.

Where it works

Tropical, rainforest and desert terrariums, especially for geckos, anoles, poison dart frogs and smaller lizards, plus vivariums and paludariums, freshwater, nano, shrimp and betta tanks, reptile, amphibian and invertebrate enclosures, naturalistic builds, and tabletop gaming, D&D and wargaming scenery.

Good to know

• To anchor it in an aquarium, glue it to a flat stone or acrylic sheet with hot glue or superglue, or bed it in with aquarium-safe silicone. Drilling a few small holes in the base also lets water in and reduces buoyancy.
• Measure the inside of your enclosure before ordering, and leave a little room for installation.
• Some photos show hand-painted examples. This piece ships unpainted.

Colours

First choose a finish (Basic, Matte, Marble, Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic or Glow-in-the-Dark), then pick a colour from that finish. Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic includes our Galaxy, Sparkly and Metallic colours. There are 89 PETG colours in total, and the colour charts at the end of the photos show each one. Want something that is not listed? Contact us and we will try to source it.

Quality and care

Printed slowly at high resolution with thick walls, so it is sturdier than most printed decor. Fine layer lines and small variations are normal and make each piece unique. PETG is non-toxic and easy to clean with soap or alcohol. Colours can look slightly different on screen.
