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.

"Stranger Roots" is an expressive, organic 3D background that resembles an exotic, ancient root system: a petrified network of twisted roots, branches and rock grown over centuries. Openings, tunnels and overhangs add depth and make it look almost alive, as if it were part of a wild, alien ecosystem.

Details

  • Irregular, flowing shapes broken through by caves, passages and niches.
  • Detailed surface with fine wood grain, gnarled growths, rock-like sections and moss-like accents.
  • Many climbing and resting surfaces for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates, and hiding places that encourage natural behaviour.
  • Good anchor points for mosses, epiphytes and vines.
  • Creates a deep, three-dimensional effect that makes smaller terrariums look larger and more natural.

Where it works

Crested gecko, poison dart frog, anole, mantis and other insect enclosures, bearded dragon terrain, terrariums, 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.

Shipping, duties and returns

  • Free shipping to Canada, the United States and select European countries.

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.
