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.

Build a layered landscape of rocky arches, open passages and projecting ledges. Open Cave creates a sculptural backdrop with multiple levels and sightlines through the rockwork, adding depth to a terrarium without forming a solid wall across every opening.

Approximate external width × depth × upright height, measured from the supplied model. One background in the selected size is included. Sizes 1 and 2 are single pieces; Size 3 uses two matching sections and Size 4 uses four. Size 1 is a tall format, Size 2 is a wider format, and Sizes 3 and 4 provide larger versions with different proportions. The supplied profile named 180 × 290 mm measures approximately 180 × 285 mm when assembled; the variant shows this measured size. Plants, enclosure and display accessories are not included. Custom sizes are available.

Need a different size? The listed variants are convenient standard sizes, not the limits of what we can make. Many designs can be resized in width, height and depth, and their proportions can be adjusted to better fit your enclosure. Small dimensional changes often do not materially affect the price; custom background pricing is based primarily on the number of modular panels required. Message Molten Modern with your enclosure dimensions for a custom quote.

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.

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 allows, 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. Choose dimensions and openings suited to the animals you keep.
  • Some photos show hand-painted examples. This piece ships unpainted in your selected filament colour.

Delivery times

Your piece is printed after you order it and ships within 7 business days. That part is our guarantee. Everything below is the carrier's, and starts the day your parcel ships rather than the day you order.

We use recognized, tracked carriers on every route, to every region. Once a parcel leaves our workshop it is in the carrier's hands, so delays caused by the carrier, by customs or by weather are outside our control and we cannot be held responsible for them. If a parcel stalls, contact us and we will chase it with you.

  • Canada: 2 to 8 business days after shipping, through local delivery partners. This service does not deliver to PO boxes.
  • United States: 2 to 6 business days after shipping. A customs broker clears the shipment, usually the next business day after it reaches a branch, and it crosses the border within two business days. United States territories, Alaska, Hawaii and military addresses (APO and FPO) can take up to 20 business days.
  • International: 5 to 22 business days after shipping, with full tracking.
