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.
A broad, textured platform rests above a sheltered cave, blending weathered wood grain with rugged rock-like sides. This low, sculptural hide creates an elevated resting surface and an open retreat underneath for a naturalistic enclosure.

Colours
First choose a finish (Basic, Matte, Marble, Metal-Like or Glow-in-the-Dark), then pick a colour from that finish. Metal-Like includes our Galaxy, Sparkly and Metallic colours. There are 75 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.
Need a different size? The listed variants are convenient standard sizes, not the limits of what we can make. Width, height, depth and proportions can often be adjusted to better fit your enclosure. Small dimensional changes may not materially affect the price. Message Molten Modern with your enclosure dimensions for a custom quote.
Good to know
-
Anchoring in an aquarium: Bond the base to a flat stone or acrylic sheet with aquarium-safe silicone, or with hot glue or cyanoacrylate superglue specifically suitable for aquarium use. Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s surface preparation and full curing instructions before placing it in the aquarium.
- Where the design permits, a few small holes through the underside into enclosed air pockets let water in and air out, reducing 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 in your selected filament colour.
