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.
This open cave has an ancient character, ideal for terrariums and aquariums with a desert or savanna theme.
It looks like a remnant of an ancient culture, carved into weathered sandstone, with relief-like symbols on the inner walls and two irregular entrances leading into small vaulted chambers, like an archaeological site.

Details
- Designed to be partly buried and placed against the front pane, creating a rock face with a cave system.
- Two entrances leading to small vaulted chambers.
- Suits desert-dwelling species such as geckos, skinks, agamids or tarantulas, and burrowing fish in a desert or ruin-themed aquarium.
Where it works
Freshwater and nano aquariums, shrimp and betta tanks, terrariums, vivariums and paludariums, 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.
